  1. Identify Network Connections:
    • Go to the Network Settings on your computer and check the list of active network connections. Disable any unnecessary or redundant connections.
    []Check Network Adapters:
    • Verify that your computer is not using multiple network adapters simultaneously.
    • Disable any extra network adapters that are not required.
    [    ]Reset Network Settings:
    • Reset your network settings to default by following these steps:
      • Right-click on the network icon in the system tray.
      • Open "Network and Sharing Center."
      • Click on "Change adapter settings" and disable any unwanted network connections.
    []Network Profile Settings:
    • Ensure that both networks are not set to "Public" profile, which can cause conflicts.
    • Set the network profiles to "Private" to avoid sharing issues between networks.
    [    ]Check Network Bridging:
    • Make sure network bridging is not enabled. Bridging connections can lead to network conflicts.
    []Restart Network Services:
    • Restart the networking services on your computer by:
      • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
      • Type the command: netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
      • Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
    [    ]Update Network Drivers:
    • Ensure that your network drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause network issues.
    []Troubleshoot Network Connections:
    • Use the Windows Network Troubleshooter to identify and fix any network-related problems.
    [    ]Uninstall Network Magic:
    • If Network Magic is interfering with your network connections, consider uninstalling or disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.

      Note:​

      • After making changes, restart your computer to apply the settings.
      • Ensure that your network configuration matches your network needs.
      Following these steps should help you resolve the issue of your computer connecting to two networks simultaneously. If the issue persists, please provide more details for further assistance. Let me know how it goes!
