Renaming Local Area Connection Numbering?

[BertieBigBollox@gmail.com]

Restoring a ghost image onto my server, the network connections for my

additional ethernet module come up as connection 5 and 6.



Main one comes up as 1.



No matter what I do I cant get them to come up as 2 and 3. Is there

any way to reset the interface count?

Probably with a registry hack. Why would you want to? AFAICS, the connection

numbering plays no role anywhere.

Because we want to deploy the image to a number of customers. You can

guarantee that someone will notice its not sequential and complain

about it.

You can use



netsh interface ip set address name

Better question: if it works as is, why be anal about a numbering

schema?

It'll make no difference to the networking aspect whatsoever. If the

so-called "customers" need something to complain about, they'll find it

regardless of what you do. "Let 'em eat cake."

What is all the racket about??



Do two single clicks (not a double click) on the "Name" of the conenction

and rename it to what you want. I do it all the time.
