Home Premium - Unidentified Network

I have 4 computers on the home network running Win7 Home Premium BUT one of them cannot connect to the network via the LAN connection. I get the error message Unidentified Network. It can connect wirelessly. There is an excellent tutorial on this subject but this doesn't work for me. I have also - as suggested in one post - tried changing the Network Address to a random number - this doesn't work either.

This computer was up-graded from Vista - When running Vista the LAN connection worked fine. I have now done a clean install - the LAN connection still gives me - "Unidentified Network"...... The same problem

Please has anyone any ideas as this is driving me mad

Thanks Richard

Upload a screenshot of the ipconfig /all output. You can use the built in snipping tool by typing snipping in search.

Thank you I hope I have done the right thing here and this is what you wanted.

Thank you Chris - How I wish this was the problem but it isn't! However I have carried out your instructions and the Bonjour service is no longer running - But I still have the same problem - I can connect using a Wireless adaptor but the LAN line connection gives me the error message "Unidentifiable Network"

I have tried plugging in another computer to the LAN line that is used for this computer and it connects OK. I did wonder if perhaps there was a physical problem with the cable!

If anyone has any ideas I would be most grateful.

Thank you again Chris - I wish it had worked

This to Tiffer your link to Google was a God send. It worked perfectly. This is for when your network is unidentified-public. Thanks for your suggestion. Here is the link again: How to: Fix Unidentified Network Windows 7 – SOLVED! | The iGeeks' Den
