Working Internet Connection showis as Unidentified Network

....... my internet connection is working, but shows as unidentified network (see screenshot).

How do I get it identified ...?...

Hi Tommy

The owner of the Network would have to give it a name. It looks like you are using a Cellular network, not a Home Wireless Access point.

I would probably set the Network to Public instead of Private which will change your Firewall posture.

....... thanks for your reply.

I tried that before, but it makes no difference.

The funny thing is that it identifies in the available connections panel (see screenshot) and also the Mobile Hotsot. panel.



By the way, I can't get Mobile Hotsot to work and thought it might got something to do with the unidentified network.

Anyway, if something comes to mind please let me know .......

Hi Tommy.

Does your vendor allow "Tethering". Some block this ability.

Was it working?

What happens when you turn it on?

When I suggest going to a public network setting it was to protect your machine from other machines on the cellular network.


Ken

....... "Tethering" is not the issue, as you can see here.

I just posted again in an old thread, because I'm afraid it's not relevant to this topic here anymore.

If you care to check it out here again the link .......

I checked it out.

When you say tethering is not an issue, the link takes me to the same as the second link.

As far as I know tethering is a mobile hot spot and I've seen situations where vendors will not permit. If your allows then this is not your issue. I will see if I come up with something.

....... thank you for looking into this matter.

I'm not that familiar with tethering, so if I'm way off here forgive/ignore me :)

It looks like the endpoint issue you get sometimes with VM adapters where you have to add the *NdisDeviceType = 1 for the particular device in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

Under the above key, look for/thru each subkey (000\001\002\etc), checking the DriverDesc
till you find the device in question. In the right pane, Right Click / New / DWORD 32 and type *NdisDeviceType and set it's value to 1.

Note: Don't forget the star *

....... thanks for the suggestion.

I added the key to the registry like you described, but it made no difference .......
