Unidentified Network: Solving the Problem

In almost every operating system, errors periodically appear , which developers can not fix right away, but only when creating a new service pack. One such problem is an unidentified network. It occurs among home Internet users on those computers where systems such as Windows 7, Vista are installed and make it impossible to provide access to shared files, as well as installing third-party equipment when the Internet is detected.

Diagnostics

In the event that an unidentified network appears without access to the network, you first need to determine whether the person himself can fix the problem.

Initially, it is worth checking the connection and operation of the router. Be sure to check the cable connection on all sides. Make sure that the cable connector is fully inserted into the equipment until it clicks. And also, if possible, check the integrity of all cables.

Then the operation of the network adapter is checked . Sometimes a situation arises when a unique static IP address is completely lost. If the provider asked for this address, then you should contact the help desk, since in this case the unidentified network comes from the provider. Here you can not do without the help of technical support.

Steps to deal with a problem such as an unrecognized Windows 7 network

In order to delete an unidentified network, it is worth using a reboot, and then reconnecting. In some situations, this method is the only one that allows you to access the Internet. The appearance of such a network in the connections folder makes it impossible to make a connection.

Sometimes you need to go to the device manager. To do this, in the properties of the menu called "My Computer", you should find the tab "Hardware". Next, you need to find the network card and disable it. This procedure is repeated continuously after each reboot of the equipment.

An unrecognized network can be fixed in the administrator account through the Adobe program. To do this, it is worth finding out whether the components of this program are present on the computer. This can be done through the item "Add or Remove Programs", which is located in the control panel. Then itโ€™s worth opening the Bonjour folder and checking if there are mDNSResponder.exe files and, of course, mdnsnsp.dll. They are also installed by the Adobe program to monitor the client, and their removal can lead to negative problems. If they are, itโ€™s worth highlighting them and pressing Shift + Delete. Then open the command prompt and enter mDNSResponder - remove. Then you should open Bonjour and rename these two files.

The final step is to restart the computer and delete the above directory. Then start the netsh winsock reset command prompt and restart the PC again. And, most likely, an unidentified network will no longer interfere with work.

An extreme measure may be a hardware reset of the router, which is carried out using a clip of a straightened or thin wire. First there is a hole labeled โ€œresetโ€. Then the end of the wire is inserted and the reset button is pressed. It should be kept pressed for 5 seconds, and then released. In the event that the network operation was restored, then the problem was related to the incorrect operation of the router.

In the event that the above steps did not help determine the network, then installing the network card driver, which is used to connect to the Internet, can help. In order to obtain a new version of the driver, you need access to a computer that has a stable Internet connection. The latest version of the driver is on the official website of the manufacturer. If you are having difficulty finding the right driver, you can use the built-in recovery system.
