I can't seem to change either of my Unidentified Network addresses to anything but Public. My computer is connected directly to my XBOX 360 over the same network cable it came with. The XBOX 360 will play the music from my computer over that cable. I tried disconnecting all the connections and only hooking up the "Local Area Network", it still came up as public. I clicked the link below my other connection and unchecked the box that marks new connections as public and tried disconnecting all the connections again. Still didn't work. I tried gpedit.msc to change the "all networks" to user is allowed to change network type. It didn't help. I don't know where to go from here and I hate to have to ask for help on anything, I can normally find an answer. This time I really need help because I don't know much about networking. I've attached a screenshot of the issue. I've been digging through various forums for answers.

The above link seems to have done something for now. It looks like a band-aid I still can't change the network type.
