Wireless networking issues Public/Private constant checking

C

Chris Moore

Not noticed this until build 5744. Wireless connections shown in Network
and Sharing seem to be constantly reviewed, my connection defined as Work
keeps switching to Identifying. At home my other laptop does the same but
during the Identifying it drops the Network discovery so I cannot access
machines on my network.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks

Chris

Yes, I appear to have the same problem. I have a new desktop in home office
on wireless network with 4 other machines, all on encrypted network behind
router. Works perfectly when hard-wired. Running wireless it identifies as
a private network. Then after a while it goes to "Identifying" and changes
network type to public. After an hour or two it blocks the connection and I
have to reboot.

I am having the exact same problem. I have an Thinkpad R51, using an INTEL
2200BG. I was having this problem when I had the Windows Drivers and I
updated to the INTEL drivers designed for Vista. Nothing changed. It
connects to the network but the identify Public/private keeps running and it
drops the network within 2 minutes or so.

BTW: I've tried it on a SonicWall WAP and a Cisco 1131AG.

I'm seeing the same problem on my IBM ThinkPad X41 tablet connecting to A
SonicWALL TZ170 W

I haven't tried another wap yet.

My connections just rapidly change back and forth between Access Connections
and the WIndows util disconnecting each time, if I remove Access Connections,
it just changes from private to public and I lose connection and thats if I
can even get it to grab an IP.

Any solutions for you yet?

Got same issue, constantly "Identifying", after some time connection drops,
need to reboot to get the connection working again.

No known solution found :(
