I know I am responding to something posted over a year ago but lets see
how I go! I have just got windows vista home premium. The wireless
connection says "local and internet" but it is constantly saying
"identifying" - then it finds the private network, then it drops back to
public network and says "identifying" - finds the private network, then
drops back and does it all over again. It's in an endless loop.

I need it to be a private network 100% of the time so I can connect
wirelessly with my other computer via my wireless router.

Interestingly my other computer (Compaq Laptop) runs Windows Vista
Business and it connects fine. So possibly this is a windows vista home
premium issue? Or it is some other weird hardware conflict on my
desktop.

I have a new D-Link internal wireless card in the desktop and I have a
NetComm wireless modem router. I used to have a Belkin one but just
changed it over recently to NetComm in order to rule out an issue with
the wireless router. Either one makes no difference so the wireless
router is fine.

Just some added info - MIGHT have solved it myself - will do some more
testing tomorrow. I suspect this has something to do settings on Norton
360 firewall.

I managed to fix this issue by actually turning 'ON' the windows
firewall in vista. Don't have time to investigate why that worked.

I am having the exact same problem. I have an Thinkpad R51, using an INTEL
2200BG. I was having this problem when I had the Windows Drivers and I
updated to the INTEL drivers designed for Vista. Nothing changed. It
connects to the network but the identify Public/private keeps running and it
drops the network within 2 minutes or so.

BTW: I've tried it on a SonicWall WAP and a Cisco 1131AG.

I'm seeing the same problem on my IBM ThinkPad X41 tablet connecting to A
SonicWALL TZ170 W

I haven't tried another wap yet.

My connections just rapidly change back and forth between Access Connections
and the WIndows util disconnecting each time, if I remove Access Connections,
it just changes from private to public and I lose connection and thats if I
can even get it to grab an IP.

Any solutions for you yet?

Got same issue, constantly "Identifying", after some time connection drops,
need to reboot to get the connection working again.

No known solution found

Check this out. It is true for some other firewalls as well as SonicWALL

It solved my problems.

I'm experiencing this issue: constant "identifying". I'd really like t
stop this behavior, since i need the network to remain private so I ca
connect Remote Desktop. If anyone has a solution please post it.
Thanks.
Right now I can fix it temporarily by "resetting" the wireless adapter
but of course if I'm not physically at the computer, that is impossible
