Hi!
Please help me! Does anyone know how to reset these constantly incrementing NIC and Network settings/numbers in my Windows XP? ( I now have NIC#3 and local network#6 ). There are different ways these increase, e.g. changed NICs, hard resets or upgrades. Now, although I have a cablemodem and am constantly on-line, the computer doesn't sense the network automatically. I have to retry for it to connect. It even believes that I still have the old NIC in place and won't let me enter the IP address without complaining that it is being used by another NIC - although it's the same NIC! I am not sure if this is a function for some purpose, or just a bug.
Thanking you in advance,
MacDknife
