    Wireless unidentified
    « on: November 15, 2010, 08:34:56 AM »
    Sup peeps, I seem to be having a problem with an unidentified wireless network (limited connectivity)when I'm not even trying to connect to a wireless one. I have no problems hooking up wireless, and when I do there are no probs. Right now I'm hooked up through my ethernet, but when I go to the network center it tells me multiple networks are hooked up and the wireless one has a yellow exclamation and I didnt even attempt to connect to it

    It seems like your wireless may be set to automatically connect to a network. If you are using ethernet for now just disable the wireless adapter until you want to use it.

      Bump..........

      nothing is set to automatic I even erased all connections and started fresh and its still doing it. When I look at my network details I do see ipv6 is limited. Its weird cause if I do manually connect to any wireless and disconnect it dissappears though till I hibernate, restart, or reboot ???

        I forgot to add. I had vmware with legit copy of XP on it and it kept trying to hook up because i never disconnected my usb realtek wireless driver from vmware. It was still running in the background and feeding off of the host OS.
