Rogue peer-to-peer networks

I have a problem that many of you might know about. It seems that when
people at my company connect wirelessly to a network such as
"Starbucks", or "T-Mobile", their PC takes on the name of the last
network they were connected to, then when they are wired in, their PC's
still broadcast the SSID of the previous wireless network they were
attached to. These PC's are open peer-to-peer networks which we can not
shut down.

I am not sure how to create them on a test PC, and even after going
through all of the Wireless settings such as disabling perr-to-peer
networking, disabling ad-hoc networking and such, I still can not
rectify this problem.

If anyone has insight as to what is going on here or how I can fix
this, please write back. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You may want to make sure the proxy box is unchecked in Internet Explorer
options.
Click Tools: Internert options: Connections: LAN settings, that's where you
will find the proxy server box. It should be unchecked.
Good Luck
