I am having issues with my network, When i startup my system Windows 7
connects my wireless as Unidentified and Public.

If I run Homegroup Troubleshooter it finds the issue and fixes it, thereby
setting it to private, but network still unidentified.

specs:

Windows 7 Home premium with all updates and drivers
Asus Desktop acting as server for 2 laptops
router set to access point only

any help would be great

Is the computer multihomed computer? Or post back with the result of
ipconfig /all. This search result may help too.

Hi
When configured on peer-to-peer Network.Win 7 has three types of Sharing
configurations.
Home Network = Works only between Win 7 computers. This type of
configuration makes it very easy to Entry Level Users to start Network
sharing.
Work Network = Basically similar to the previous methods of sharing that
let you control what, how, and to whom folders would be shared with.
Public Sharing = Public Network (like Internet cafe) to reduce security
risks.
The Work Network is the one that most of us are going (and need) to use.
Win 7 Work Network's Sharing settings are in principle similar to Vista's
configuration (some menu in locations in Win 7 might be in different place,
and look a little different, but it should not be a problem for a compute to
adopt)
So, maybe this can Help.
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local
traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should
be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers
on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party
Firewall instructions.
General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trustet
Windows 7 Work Network,

Windows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP -

Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista (Not need for XP-SP3) -

When finished with the setting of the system it is advisable to Reboot all
the hardware including Router and all computers involved.

Hope This Helps

Update:

I have checked this and believe it is a Windows 7 error, I will explain to
the best of my ability.

I installed a fresh copy of windows 7 home premium on a new hard drive with
drivers to operate devices only.
No other software was installed.

The problem was the same even with the Firewall disabled.
