I recently changed ISP and must have changed the default settings.
I can't remember what the settings were before: I didn't take much notice because everything was working as it should.
Since I chose the wrong network I'm having problems connecting to certain websites and even trying to login into my Synology account: I got this to work by (if I remember correctly) putting the Synology account on a 'whitelist'.
My Network is showing as 'Public Network', but how do I change it to show 'Home Network'?
I ask, because MinimWatch is not working due to me choosing the wrong type of Network.
The way to fix it is to choose 'Home Network', but I can't find a way how to do this.
I did follow a tutorial on how to change between 'public and private' (http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/9837-network-location-set-private-public-windows-8-a.html) but the options that should be showing, don't show up when I right click my network connection.
Will I have to change 'wifi' and 'ethernet' to 'Home Network'?
I'm completely stuck now.
