Multipal Networks

Question

Trying to rebuild my multinetwork connections. I had this working but had to get a new router. When I connected my new router, the multi connection stopped working. So how do I get my multi network working again? Ideas? I was able to add a new network adaptor but its not receiving.

Hi there,

I came across these steps in a forum and think it might be helpful for you, can you give this a try.

1. Open the Network and Sharing Center page in the Windows Control Panel.
2. Confirm that it says Multiple networks immediately underneath the middle icon.
3. Click the Customize link to the right of the first network shown, found directly under the Internet icon, to show the Set Network Location window:
4. Move the Set Network Location window out of the way, but leave it open. (You'll need it in a minute, but at a time when it's otherwise inaccessible.)
5. Back on the Network and Sharing Center page, click the Manage network connections link (in the lefthand Tasks pane).
6. In the Network Connections window, highlight the network adapter through which you get your Internet. (From the Views drop-down, select Details; the one you want likely says something like Network, Unidentified network in the Status column.)
7. Click the Disable this network device button above (next to the big red X). Wait a couple of seconds for the graphic on the Network and Sharing Center page to reflect the change.
8. Return to the Set Network Location window you opened in step #3, and click the Merge or delete network locations link at the bottom.
9. Despite Vista's earlier assertion that it detected "multiple networks," you'll likely see only one network in the Merge or Delete Network Locations window:
10. Highlight the lone entry and then click Delete. (If there's more than one, you can delete them all.)
11. When you're done, close the Merge or Delete Network Locations window and then close the Set Network Location window.
12. Return to the Network Connections window, and with the disabled network adapter still highlighted from step #6, click the Enable this network device button (next to the big orange arrow).
13. After a 10-15 second delay, your Internet should now be working, signified by the absence of the treacherous Multiple networks entry on the Network and Sharing Center page:
