Unable to connect to adhoc wireless networks :(
I previously bought a used laptop running Win 7 Ultimate which I am the administrator and for ages I have wondered why I am always unable to connect to adhoc wireless networks, connecting to wireless access points have no issue though.
Connecting to adhoc networks always gives me the 'your network administrator has blocked you from connecting to this network' message. I recently found out, as below there seems to be a group policy set in place?
Can anyone show me how I can disable this policy please, without having to reinstall windows 7 again as that would really be too much effort for me
Many thanks in advance!
C:\Users\admin>netsh wlan show filter
Allow list on the system (group policy)
---------------------------------------
SSID: "WL", Type: Infrastructure
Allow list on the system (user)
-------------------------------
<None>
Block list on the system (group policy)
---------------------------------------
SSID: "", Type: Adhoc
Block list on the system (user)
-------------------------------
<None>
I have tried using 'netsh wlan del filter permission=denyall networktype=adhoc' but that doesn't seem to solve the issue as it seems to be a group policy thing.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of the issue? Maybe via the registry?
Thanks.
