Re: how to recover a "forgotten" network?

Normally, any "forgotten" network should re-appear after a few moments. If it doesn't, then it should re-appear after a restarting your device. If it still doesn't appear, then a little editing of the registry needs to be done - but we won't go there yet since making a mistake there can mean permanently crippling your PC... if you're referring to a PC.

gpobernardo is correct. Be aware however that you will need to re-enter your credentials if this is a secure network.
