Network Adapter Resets To Public

hi, Im having an issue were the network adapter resets to public. Not sure why. If the network is on anything but trusted then i get lag spikes every couple minutes. Get them when watching streams, playing online games or downloading. The streams will freeze then resume and i will have missed a small part, downloads go down to 0/kbs, and in the online games I get rubber banding. Is there a way you could permanently have the network adapter stay on public ? It seems odd to me that I get these lag spikes on say, a home/office setting.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

thanks mitza, I will try that.

What does it mean to have the adapter on trusted ? Why would i be getting lag spikes on the other settings ?

Hello. :rolleyes:

The recommended firewall settings are posted HERE.

I don't have any problem on any setting of firewall.

Try that setting and post here if this resolved your problem.

Have a nice day !

Hello jev-11,

For each network connection you can configure special trusted or untrusted zones.

A trusted zone is a device that you fully trust, for example a computer or a printer.

All traffic between your computer and a trusted device is allowed. To share resources

with specific computers in an unsecured wireless network, add them as allowed

computers.

An untrusted zone is a device that you do not want to communicate with your

computer at all.

TRUSTED Disable the firewall for the respective adapter.

HOME/OFFICE Allow all traffic between your computer and computers in

the local network.

PUBLIC All traffic is filtered.

UNTRUSTED Completely block network and Internet traffic through the

respective adapter.
