[QUOTE="DRoyLenz, post: 1316276, member: 220192"] Good Afternoon Everyone! I have researched this question for an hour now, and searched this forum for the answer, but proved unsuccessful, so I wanted to see if anyone had experienced this issue before. The problem is with a computer-to-computer network. I created one, so that I could sync the tasks on my 'Things' app with my iPhone. Because I only needed the WiFi connection for a few seconds, I didn't bother securing it. I immediately disconnected from the network as soon as the sync was complete, and reconnected to my Company's WiFi network. My boss came up to me about an hour later, and said that he saw my Computer-to-computer network in his list of available networks. This looks really bad, and may break our company's security policies. He requested that I shut the network down, but nothing I do seems to get rid of it. I had a coworker try to connect to it, and their computer said it was connected, even though I "disconnected" the network. Has anybody experienced anything like this? Thank you so much. P.S. I had a similar issue with a computer-to-computer network I created with my iPad a few months ago, so I don't think this is an isolated incident. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
