    USB modem, NDIS, network discovery and numbering


    Hi,

    I use a pocket wifi / mobile broadband device (Alcatel Osprey EE40) for my internet, connected via USB cable to my desktop PC.

    I noticed that Windows will call it 'Network x' where x is a number that seems to increase sometimes.

    I'm sure it isn't a problem but is there a way to make the network stick at one number?
    Is it storing a configuration for the previous incarnations, and where, if anywhere, are they stored, please?

    *Smile

    :)

    Cannot keep Network Discovery Enabled.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the response.

    I would suggest that you change the settings in the Firewall to allow Network discovery so that the Firewall stays On while allowing the Network discovery to be enabled.

    Follow the steps.

    a . Open Control panel.

    b. Small icons from the drop down.

    c. Click on Windows Firewall.

    d. Click on Allow programs or feature through Firewall.

    e. Scroll the list and check Network Discovery.

    If you need additional assistance then let us know.
