First, remember I can't see your screen and that takes a lot of back and forth to
talk about it. It is best if I can point you in the right direction and let you solve
this. You seem to be computer savvy enough to use some deductive reasoning.
Your system is either retrieving the multiple network information for somewhere or
something you or your system is adding to your network. First look at those multiple
networks. If you have any of them in there that state that the are 'Network Bridged’
you will have to got to Control Panel/Network Connections and R. click on each, then
disable the bridge. DOCUMENT this so you can restore it later assuming it is needed.
This will open up even more connections that were hidden by the bridge.
Now look at each connection DOCUMENT and evaluate its purpose and source. I'll bet
you find the problem, come to some revelation about the problem, or give us the info
needed to solve this for you.
Also get me some information. Do the following with you network in its multiple state
and again after you repair it. In the RUN, type "CMD" (without the quotes) and enter.
At the command prompt type "ipconfig /all” (without the quotes). Copy and paste the
resulting data to notepad, then forward to me here.

I'll have to get back to you on the ipconfig data the next time I see the Multiple
Networks.
At this point I can tell you that my configuration looked identical to the example
shown in the article. I am not aware of any bridged networks.
This problem only ever occurs when the computer comes out of sleep mode and it doesn't
do it every time.

Good information. Realize that when in sleep mode your memory is the only thing left
running. Very little electrical drain. Actually in Vista I think it is now chanced
to a hybrid of Hibernate and sleep mode. Part of you current system info is written
to disk.
If you think about how a network is constantly polling the network to update any
changes, then think about coming out of sleep and not having any up to date info
and now RE-polling and it getting confused. Not all that different from a human waking
and for a moment not know where or when he is. I'll get back to you as soon as I
research this a little more and encourage you to look down those lines of thought.

One cause of this annoying behaviour in Vista is iTunes. But the only cure I know
of is to uninstall iTunes :-(

Okay, I got the Multiple Networks again. By the way, one cannot normally cut and
paste from a command prompt window. I sent the results to a text file by appending

First I have concern about you not being able to cut and paste from the DOS box.
That was one of the nice additions to Vista!
Anyway, try going to this link and trying the MS suggestion, but I don't think this
is your problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932134. You should not have any problem running with
the IPv6 turned ON. There was a small hiccup early on, but the fix I listed above
and later SP1 pretty much eliminated that, yours is the first I have heard of since
IF that turns out to be the problem.
Check for new driver for you LAN. Also on that same line of thought, check to see
the date on the driver for the current driver. Considering that it calls it self
a Marvell Yukon is not really a problem, but may indicate that it has recently installed
a generic driver instead of the manufacturer's driver. 20 or 30 different brand name
companies may use a standard chip by some manuf. that you never heard of and put
their name on the card. That is nothing new. Sometimes though when the computer reads
that chip's ID info and starts updating with generic drivers things can go bad (or
sometime fix a problem)! You might try to 'Roll Back' that driver.
Next take a look at this link and see if you are running in the Hybrid Sleep mode.
That could change things.
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-hybrid-sleep-mode/
Look in your BIOS settings for "ACPI" or anything relating to it. Try changing that
setting i.e. On to Off or Off to On. Document changes before you do them, so you
know what you have done when and why. ACPI is for 64 bit processors and though most
machines today are, I don't know how this might be affected when using a 32 bit OS
as opposed to 64 bit.
Take a look at these items and let me know.

It seems the cut and paste functionality for my DOS window was turned off. Work now!
Thanks.
I have turned IPv6 on to see if that makes a difference.
My LAN has the latest driver. The version number and release date match up with the
latest driver on the manufacturer's site.
I was running in Hybrid sleep mode. I tried turning that off and putting the computer
into a normal sleep. The computer treated it as a reboot when it woke back up and
lost its previous state. I will see how it works going into hibernation instead of
sleep or hybrid sleep.
I have ACPI turned on and I have a 64-bit machine running Vista 64-bit.
I'll see if IPv6 and hibernate make a difference with the multiple network problem.

There seems to be a failure in you Standby modes. Sleep should come back on in a
matter of seconds, the LAN connection being the only thing that it should have to
reconstitute. Sleep mode actually keeps part of the mobo and the memory alive. I
don't remember how old you hardware is, but could it be possible that you system
hardware is old enough that it doesn't handle this setting. That would be pretty
old though. Look at your BIOS settings to see if you have something in there that
will turn this on/off. Your motherboard manual (hope you have one) is easier to study
for this purpose.

My system is only a few years old. I think something just went wrong with Vista.
It said that Windows had not shut down properly. My computer just woke up from hibernation
and I didn't have multiple networks. I'll see if it stays that way the next few times
it wakes up.

Switching over to hibrnate seems to have done the trick! I haven't seen the dreaded
multiple networks in days.
Now, if I can just get my computer's Wake on LAN or Wake on Alarm to work, I'll have
solved the last lingering annoyance on my computer.

If you have iTunes installed, this may be due to a bug with iTunes' Bon Jour implementation.

Hi all - this is a known issue with Apple Itunes on Vista and above (specifically
the Bonjour component)
KB article is here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=970313
You can work around the issue by disabling the Bonjour service. Open “services.msc”
from Run. Double click on the Bonjour service. Change the start type to Disabled
and stop the service. Reboot. This will prevent iTunes from discovering other iTunes
computers on your network, but it will stop this multiple networks issue.

I tryed everything that is written on internet about that but it didnt work so i
tryied something radical but very simple. I uninstalled my wireless network device
from the device manager and then installed it again and so far dont have any problem
with multiple networks. It just works fine as it is supposed to work.
