Local Area Connction 6

[STEVE555]

Hello to all!
I have a small problem.I had downloaded the latest driver for my Realtek 8139D Network card.Before I installed the new driver,my network connections showed that my L.A.N is Local Area Connection5.So I used the InstallShield program to uninstall the old driver and then I re-booted my machine.When Windows came back up,(I have Windows XP Professional) the New hardware wizard came up.After I showed Windows where the .inf is for the new driver,I had discoverd that I have a Local Area Connection6!,even though I have only ONE network card!

So summing up,does anybody know how get Windows to show that I have only ONE Local Area Network? I did read somewhere that there is file on the Windows XP Professional CD that you can extract and run,but I cannot remember the whole proceedure.

Any help with this problem would be greatly apprieciated.

Regards,
Steve

Right click and select "Rename"...then chop the 6 off.

Sure thing....it's nothing to worry about. I see it a lot...for some reason, each time something like that happens, or you reinstall a NIC or whatever...the local area connections do a "plus 1"

Anyways...
