Issues with WIFI and LAN connections

[browndj3]

Let me try and explain this properly. I'm trying to set up a few computers in an office that currently do not have internet through their LAN connections. They are office sharing with, and the folks they are sharing with have a WIFI guest account, so they are piggy backing off of that using WIFI adapter dongles. Everything was working fine yesterday, and now Windows is throwing a fit about having multiple networks connected, even if only one is connected to the net. I've searched and searched the net and haven't quite found the answer I'm looking for.

Just to try to clarify, there are two networks being used. One is a wired connection between the computers in an office with no internet access, and the other is using the WiFi guest account to provide internet to all computers through USB WiFi adapters. The problem is that you are no longer getting internet access, and Windows is having errors about multiple networks. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The first thing to check if the system was working before is to see what changed. Check for possible updates on the machines that may have broken the connection, and maybe rolling them back can fix this. It may also be that the other office that is providing the WiFi decided to change their policy, so you are no longer getting access to the internet.

I would see about setting up a more permanent solution, too. Using a guest account is usually not adequate for a workplace environment, and it will save you a lot of troubles in the long run if you create a more stable network to begin with.
