    change network adapter name


    Once you open your browser to the IP address for the device you should be able to change some things but you will need to have the username and maybe password to do so. Maybe even re-running the setup disc will allow it.

    Device Manager
    Scroll down to and expand Network Adapters
    Double click your adapter to show Properties
    Press the Details tab
    Property box: scroll to Inf name
    Value box: displays the name of the inf file

    You can also see the specific inf section in the inf file if you scroll down the property list a little further

    Remember there is some risk messing around with the inf files.
