I am using Windows 8.1, but, I cannot recall a "Slider" , in Windows 8 that does that. Can you point me there? If you mean this one, read the text, that is not its function.
To change to a private you should go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings, and make sure you have private selected there.

If you are not able to switch from a public network then it may be as a result of the IP addressing schema that you are (or are not) receiving from the network DHCP server.
Open a command prompt and do a quick ipconfig /all and see if you're getting a proper default gateway
