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.

Kari 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. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Gateway M6827
