Registry Entries for Network Adapters

[pritska]

There is a location in the registry where you can see entries for different network cards that have been installed, with the IP address settings. This is what allows the PC to tell you when you try and assign an address assigned to NIC A, to NIC B. I need to delete these "memories" so can start with a clean slate of NICs and IPs.

Why not just rebuild your Winsock service with this utility:

thank you! that's the one I was after. More fun deleting registry keys than using the winsock repairer
