Greetings all,
I have read so many posts my eyes are bleeding...lol. Anyway, I am currently working on a separate wired network only using switch with static IP addresses assigned to the switch and all other connected computers. I am not using this network to connect to the internet, its only providing a LAN for share drive/media access.
Once connected to this network, windows treats this connection as an unidentified network and automatically treats the connection as public. Since its listed as unidentified, I am unable to switch it to Private in all areas including Registry. The only solution I found was to use a router instead, configured only for LAN and enabling DHCP. This is quite frustrating.
I am hoping there is a proper way or solution for this issue. I am aware of one work around where you assign an alternate IP to one adapter and then use that IP as a DHCP server address...but that seems like a poor workaround and I have not yet tested this.
That said, I am hoping someone may enlighten me on the proper way to setup and manage a LAN using only a switch. The switch is managed and I can setup static IP's.
I appreciate any and all assistance.
Gonna go back to digging a deeper snow cave for now...lol
