Vista network conflict.

[russianboy]

Everyone knows how great Vista is @ discovering devices and networks, but now I have a problem.

On startup, it finds two networks, one is my working "Network" network, and the other is some sort of "Unidentified network".

This is causing a conflict, and I cannot connect to the internet, I can however connect to my IP address, and I do have a signal.

I have tried to go to the network and sharing center, but when I delete that "Unidentified network", both networks disappear. If I do a system restore, internet will work, but as soon as I shutdown/restart, and boot up again, Vista will rediscover that "Unidentified network".

Safe mode w/ networking allows me to go to the internet, as it does not discover that pesky "Unidentified network".

Can anyone assist me in manually deleating this network, and prevent it from coming back?

Thanks

As you all know, internet is rather important to me, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bump here also, getting exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution? What router you using russianboy?

A no name one I think, I solved it by changing the IP adress of that "Unidentified Network" from XXX.XXX.1.2 (It should have been 1.3 BTW) to a random number like XXX.XXX.1.7. or whatever.

I am having issues seeing my G/F's Xp based system on our network, but I think it is her firewall blocking me. I can access her PC files (I back up her stuff on my PC) if I go through my router's menu and click access User's Files, but I have to set her Firewall to allow all otherwise it won't go through. I'm on a wired connection to the router, she's on a wireless connection to the router. I had no issues with networking between PC's when this one had XP on it, but Vista doesn't like to find her PC unless I go through the router. It's weird, I haven't tried too much because I have the method I'm currently using to access her stuff, it's just kind of annoying.
