View Full Version : Two networks? Can I delete one?

It appears that while setting up a wireless network on my
home PC and notebook I installed two networks. First is
the default named "Mshome" and, on my second attempt I
installed one named "Home". I assume it's because I had
to make two attempts at it.
Sometimes "Mshome" appears in the "Entire Network" folder
and sometimes only "Home". "Home" works fine.
Am I correct that I set up two and can I delete "Mshome"?
Thanks in advance!

Assign the desired workgroup (network) name to both computers. The
other, unused name will automatically disappear after a while.
There's no explicit way to delete it.
