What does "Unidentified Network" mean in Windows?

Question

Computer networks

In terms of IP addresses, routing and other things. On the Internet, only guides for housewives how to register addresses manually.

Answer 1

This is in terms of a Windows network.
There is a work network, a home network, a shared/public network, a corporate network, and an unidentified network.
Affects access patterns within such networks - some folders are rummaged around on the home network by default.

Answer 2

In terms of ip addresses, routing and other things - nothing. Separation of networks by name windows uses to configure the firewall - in the home and corporate network you can open balls, in an unidentified network - no. All this can be corrected manually.

Answer 3

Because this is exactly the terminology for housewives. In terms of IP addresses, there is no difference between unrecognized, public, private, and what-there-are-there-are networks. This affects the Windows firewall and possibly some services.
