    Public or Private Changing


    Going nuts again! My puters that are ok with what is told on the net is correct. But, one is not, I click on properties when I bring up connections, does not bring a way to change the profile. 2004 must have changed something again. This is WFi which should mean nothing.

    If you search for changing to public or private, you will see what I mean
