Hi guys, I would like to ask how to reset the network counter in the Connection.

Everytime that I use the USB tethering, windows keeps creating new network even though its the same cellphone/USB cord/USB slot.

Ex.

Network 10

Network 11

. . . 

Network 22

I'd be really happy if someone can help me with this problem.

(Excuse me for my grammar)

    Hi,

    As per the issue description you are facing issue with network connection on your computer. Your efforts in resolving the issue is highly appreciated. I would suggest you to run Networking commands and see if it helps you to fix the issue.

    Run the networking commands to

    • Reset the TCP/IP stack
    • Release the IP address
    • Renew the IP address
    • Flush and reset the DNS client resolver cache

    Follow the below steps to see if that fixes your connection problem:

    1. Right click on Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).

    2. At the command prompt, run the following commands in the listed order.

    • Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter
    • Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter
    • Type ipconfig /release and press Enter
    • Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter
    • Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter

    3. Check if the issue is resolved, if not restart the system and check the status of your computer.

    Do keep us updated.

    Regards,

    Sorry for the very late reply,

    After doing the SFC scan, I don't have an idea after doing the scan.

    http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1101977-windows-8-rename-network/

    After reading this topic, This gives me the idea that I can just delete it in the REGEDIT.

    And finally, I got it to reset counter.

    Thanks for helping me.

    Sadly sir ,The link does not match to my problem.

    I'm currently using a USB tether, not wireless.

    I tried the command at CMD but it shows all the wireless network that the laptop previously connect

    netsh wlan show profiles

    But since i read the title of the link, I tried searching for other way to solve my problem.

    I hope the netwok stop creating new network. If it does, my only problem left is how to reset the counter.
