Was this extra network adapter on the PC the "Leaf Networks Adapter" mentioned in this post? It seems this adapter can be created automatically by NETGEAR PC client software.

If you need to enable this other PC adapter for any reason, you can use the MinimWatch ohnet.subnet setting to ensure MinimWatch uses the correct adapter on the PC.

I also found this interesting article, which shows how you can change the order that Windows uses to look for the networks on your PC. This might be an alternative to setting ohnet.subnet in MinimWatch, but I haven't verified that it has the same effect.

I didn't bother to note what it was, but I don't think it was "Leaf Networks Adapter". It was most likely to be something similar though because I never noticed it previously. Having disabled it, it no longer shows in Networking Centre - so good riddance I say!
