Everything was working fine. Connecting to the inet at home and away. Fat dumb and happy.
Last night, some automatic security fixes applied themselves.
Suddenly WINDOZE7STARTER is forcing a "select a location for the '3TYNE7328215850 2' network.
And, no internet connectivity. My Mac, my vista, my old XP are all perking along fat, dumb, and happy.
Everything was work fine before..
Notice the "space 2" on the end of the wireless lan name.
There's no way to delete that "space 2" or to change it.
WINDOZE7STARTER says that it can't create a 'home network group', but only join one. So there is no way to delete this or force it out.
Numerous system rollbacks to dates in the past can NOT fix this.
Argh!
(It's to be my wife's machine for Christmas!)
