Network office vs. home

Options

Hi,

During installation of TOTAL SECURITY on Windows 7 PC, the LiveBox was mistakenly registered as "office" network. It is actually a "home" network and I would like to correct this, but how?

Thanks.

  • Thanks!

    It keeps seeing it as "office" network, as originally saved. When I move to "home", there is nothing to select.

    In the fire-wall tab, I did chose "home-office" yet.

    Funny! Please check the screen shots...

    Hope this helps:

    Protection -> Firewall -> Network adapters -> set to "Dynamic", NOT "Home/Office"

    After i did that, my TP-Link home router was automatically set to "Home Wi-Fi" and my phone's hotspot was automatically set to "Public Wi-Fi".

    Here are some screenshots from my BDTS settings:


  • Thanks again!

    Went back to "Dynamic" in the Fire-wall. Doesn't change a thing: my BitDefender doesn't recognize my home Wi-Fi as "Home", it stays on "Office", as previously described. Same for "Public Wi-Fi", it says no Public Network found.

    I think I'll wait for a while... later on I'll try to uninstall / reinstall...

    Thanks for your efforts!
