Local Area Connection 4

[Wedge120]

Just wondering why I see the message "Local Area Connectino 4" when I mouse-over the internet icons in the system tray. I only have one network connection that I am aware of. Can somebody enlighten me a bit please?

I'm a little anal when it comes to unusual details that I don't understand about my computer. I like to know if and when something has been changed by me (accidentally) or somebody else.

Each time your computer detect a new interface, it increment the number. So it detected 4 interfaces, it's perhaps you removed some without deleting them before or you changed the pci slot or simply that the OS detected four time the same interface in the same emplacement but with other resources. Sometimes services packs might also do this.

Is there a way to find the other 3 and delete them?

They may no longer exist. Check your Networking folder in Control Panel.

Whether they exist or not, you can just rename that connection. Click on it, hit F2, and name it whatever you want.
