Ethernet Connections Competing for Authentication
I just moved back to college for my third year, this time with the new desktop I built. Their Ethernet network uses authentication to gain access. For some reason I have multiple ethernet connections competing for authentication when I login, but I only have one physical port. There are Windows TAP v9 and Windows OAS 32 adapters that try to authenticate before my real one (Intel adapter). They end up failing to authenticate, dissappear from the network and sharing center, and I have to go through the troubleshooter to enable DHCP on my main connection. After this, everything works fine. I haven't figured out why DHCP gets disabled, because I have not set it to a static IP. I also can't figure out why the other TAP adapters appear then dissapear, when they aren't even in my device manager.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Attached is a screenshot of what happens on logon. It was hard to catch because the TAP adapter dissappears so fast.
