Multiple networks

[mancala1964]

Why would Vista on my laptop show Multiple Networks on the Network and Sharing Center when in fact I only have one wirless connection. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Yea upgrade to w7 or downgrade to xp

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I don't see why you need to up or downgrade. I use Vista and it displays "Network".

@mancala1964, what appears when you click it? How many connections?

If your wireless you could be picking up your neighbors networks

hmm. It must be a quick release bug. Microsoft don't test their stuff properly because they just give it to the user to test and these things go unnoticed.

No, they are the same identical network connections.

Uhmmm what lol? Microsoft test's their programs very well before even releasing a public beta.(Now canonical or Google on the otherhand ... )

The problem is he is picking up other signals from his neighborhood.

You need to choose your wireless and click connect and check connect automatically.

I tried that before. Didn't work. It the 'ghost' connection still showed up. After looking around on the internet, this seems to be a vista problem. Anyway when I fix it I'll post what the solution was.

So your wireless is not showing up?

Then have you tried resetting your modem and router?

Yes, tried resetting the modem and router. There are other laptops, pc's in the house that are not having a problem at all. Just that particular laptop, so i'm pretty sure it's not a router/modem related issue.

Does your ISP have a maximum connections limit? Like I have AT&T and I can only have so many computers connected to the internet for it to work properly.

No, we are not limited as to how many connections we can have. I'm pretty sure it's the laptop/vista. No other computers are having the same problem as the laptop.
