    Solved:LAN naming issue


    How can I change the LAN from TLC_Home to something else? Also, I would like the wireless network to read Hippocrates not Hippocrates 2. I bought a router off craigslist and I can't figure out how to change these names? Thanks.

    Click Change adapter settings on the left pane in Network and Sharing Center. Select a connection you want to rename, right click it to open context menu and select Rename.

    That only let me rename Local Area Connection to something else. I want to rename the TLC_Home portion. See screen, thanks for the reply.

    OK.

    Click the network type symbol, for instance house for home network. Type the name you want to use, click OK to save it.

    OMG thank you, that was driving me nuts (I'm OCD). By the way, what program did you use to annotate your screenshots? I like it.

For starters, the Macrium Reflect Pro cloned my drive flawlessly...couldn't be happier (and to a larger correct partition on my new SSD Samsung 830, 128GB drive). However, in some aspects, I can see in Win7 where the original Disk name 'CDM_Recovery' still pops up. I can't figure out a way...
