Tutorial to change Network Connections from Unidentified in windows 8 to be able to use HomeGroup:
Warning: this will turn all unidentified connections to private you can still have public, private connections
Read here: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorial...on-set-private-public-windows-8-a.html?filter[1]=Networking%20Internet
Note: i had to do this because im using internet connection sharing from one windows 8 system to another system
with ICS it sets the connection that you share too ie. your network ip to 192.168.137.1 and it will list your connection in network and sharing center as unidentified because window does not set a default gateway its sharing your main connections gateway and you cant set two defualt gateways ICS wont work so its just blank.
this is how you change your connection to private to enable HomeGroup
