    On the left side click on "Change Adapter Settings" and when the next screen comes up Right click on the Name(TallTiger) and Rename it.

    I thought that is how I did mine. It was real easy so I just need to do some digging.

    Thats it. I knew it was easy but I suffer from CMS (can't remember stuff).
