e.g. from "Network 2" to "LAN", or the name of my ISP.


Try the following:

- Control Panel - Network and Internet - Network and Sharing Center
(same dialog you show in your online image).
- Change adapter settings (left pane).
- Either:
* Right-click on the connectoid and select Rename in context menu.
* Select connectoid and use "Rename this connection" in toolbar.


Unfortunately, that renames the network adapter, not the connection. Mine is
already renamed to "RealtekNet".
