Vista - unidentified network

I have (vista home perimium) my internet connection shows unindentified network,i am not able to connect any wifi connections.but on my friends who are who are using the same wifi connection ,has no problem in the connection.

You will need to describe a little more than that. Like your wireless router setup. How does your wireless normally work? Do you have an internet light blinking on your wireless router? How about your modem? Did you try connecting to your ssid?

i am using the same wifi connection which my friedns are using and they dont have any problem in the connection.

Ok so you've figured out that the problem is your computer. Check your wireless settings. Make sure key and encryption type match and check your ip address.

unidentified network is one massive pain, try this link and see if any of this can be a help. I sorted mine by changing my wireless security from wpa psk 2, just to wpa psk.


Modem is connected but not the internet?


This takes alot of read but it looks like there are many things that can cause this, mainly being vista is rubbish.

Everybody needs to understand that the problem isn't going to get resolved by Vista bashing, the reason your not getting an "identified" network, is because uPnP(universal plug and play) isn't enabled in windows(network discovery), I sometimes get this when I connect external network drives connected via ethernet, unidentified network comes up, simply enable network discovery and your unidentified network will disappear.

Upnp is known as Network Discovery on Windows Vista. It is disabled by default since Windows Firewall blocks Network Discovery. In case you do not know how to enable Network Discovery in Vista please check my blog : Windows Vista - Shaun’z Blog

cheers for the heads up
