Unidentified Network

I have a Thinkpad T60, with an 11a/b/g/n wireless adapter, and Intel PRO
gigabit wired connection. I routinely travel back and forth between my home &
work networks.

Whenever I switch networks, and turn on, or resume from sleep, at the other
location, I'm getting the Unidentified Network "extra" connection that limits
access to Local Only.

I've tried the:

* changing power options on Ethernet adapter fix
* editing registry for the dhcpconnbcastflag fix

but nothing seems to work.

This happens when I just put it to sleep, or just turn it off. Sometimes I
can get around it by disconnecting from the network before shutting
down/sleeping the system, then transporting, and reconnecting at the other
location; sometimes not. It will happen with both wired and wireless
connections.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Barb - Thanks for the suggestion, but on downloading that and attempting
install, I get the msg that the update doesn't apply to my system.
