Unidentified Network when setting IP address to static - solution!
Finally found a solution to my static IP issue. Whenever I would set my IP to static, the network would become Unidentified. To get the network back to Home I would change to DHCP, then back to static. After waking the computer up from Sleep mode it would go back to Unidentified. Since it didn't prevent me from doing anything I just gave up on it.
Today, on a whim, I re-enabled IPv6 on the Local Area Connection and, instantly, the network was Home again.
