Has anyone tried this registry fix with home premium? Home premium doesn't have all the security stuff and it automatically assigns unknown networks as public. Can't change them. I have a wifi internet connection and I shared it with a local wired LAN connection. Problem is that the wired LAN network is stuck as unknown network, public. Since I can't change that I can't share files or printers. Is home premium just too crippled to be used for ics?

Hello James, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Yes, the REG downloads can be used in any edition of Windows 7 to change those settings. I hope that it will help with your issue.

Thanks. I tried it and it didn't change anything. My local connection is still "unidentified" and can't be changed to "home". I started a new thread where I describe my situation. It seems like this is problem for a lot of people but I can't find any solid fixes. It not an issue if you have w7pro or above.

btw, pretty nice forum. Lots of good info in here. I'm impressed with the participants.
