In Control Panel\Network and Sharing Center
, I have two networks listed (I have three network adapters). One is my internet connection, and is described:
- Inet (Private network)
- Access
- Local and Internet
- Connection
- Inet Wireless (Inet)
- Access
This correctly corresponds to the SSID of the Internet router.
The other two adapters are described like this:
- Unidentified network (Public network)
- Access
- Local Only
- Connections
- Gigabit Wired
- Internal Wireless
- Access
The problem is that this machine is running a backup task and I'm trying to restrict the task so that it only starts if a specific network connection is available, in particular, the one connected to the adapter I've named 'Gigabit Wired'. But this network doesn't have a name (it's only "Unidentified network"), and the name doesn't distinguish between the adapters (which have different IP subnets - this machine acts like a router).
Re the backup task and network presence: in a Task Scheduler's Task properties, the Conditions tab has an option: "Start only if the following network connection is available". However, I can't get my Gigabit Wired adapter to show up as a network in the dropdown here.
So, how can I name my network connections / subnets / adapters appropriately to wire up with scheduled task conditions?
