    I own a Sony Vaio using windows 7 and a wired Lan-Connection
    Normaly i can start the system and an automatic connection is made to Inyternet via the wired LAn connection
    The switch on the router is disabeld for WLAN connection

    Since a few weeks when i start the system windows come with the following message:

    Swict to another found Network?
    Do you want to swicth to THUISLAN

    Answer with: Switch or Cancel

    If I press the Switch-button, or when i don nothing the system comes
    with the messsage: swichting to Profile: THUISLAN competed
    and a good working connection is made to the Internet

    When i press the Cancel-key, the system does not return any message but again a good working connection is made

    Is there any way to make it possible that these messages does not come in the future anymore?

    The hardware-section reports: WLAN-device, not active
    LAN-device, active

    The Networkcentrum give the following scheme:

    OwnPC------->Network2 (Home Network)-----> Internet

    No other Network is here visible

    Thanks for any suggestion

    Is this a VAIO Smart Network message? If you don't need to enable/disable the bluetooth network, or select 2.4Ghz/5.1Ghz, disable it in startup, or just uninstall it.

    Note that the VAIO Smart Network seems to be the only way you can select which of your wireless networks (including Bluetooth) are enabled. If you need to change these settings, just live with the popup. Your call.
