    Default Fix for "Unidentified Network" / No Internet Access

    I've searched but found no reference to this issue, so I'll post this here

    Let my Windows 7 do the updates after switching the pc off last night, got up this morning & no internet.

    So gained net access from my neighbours unsecured WiFi & found this fix [which worked for me]

    Check to see if you have this little devil in your services list:

    "##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B87 9762 ##"

    If you do, stop it and disable it. It is actually the Bonjour DNS Responder Service, and I believe it is the cause of the "Unidentified Network."

    The Unidentified Network disappeared after stopping this service and a quick disable/enable of the NIC, restoring Internet access.

    It's reported to be causing problems after updating MS Office or installing Adobe CS3

    Funny stuff, same issue I have encountered here:
    http://www.digital-forums.com/showthread.php?t=769938

    I read that changing the Bonjour service to delayed start solves the issue but each time I reboot same problem.

    Does '##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B87 9762 ##' show as the name of the service? I have no such name. Just wondering which service I need to disable. I have altered Bonjour to manual start.

    EDIT:
    Nope that string is not in my services, I am still encountering the problem even after setting Bonjour service to manual
