networking problem

Go to Control PanelSystemHardware tabDevice Manager.
Click the plus beside Network adapters. Highlight
(select) your network card and delete. It there are two
cards listed, remove both of them. Then reboot. If your
card is PnP, Windows will re-detect your new card and you
should then be fine.

I am using window XP and have placed a network card in a
machine that has previously had a network card of the
same type in it, so now this card is recognised as
network card number 2.

The problem arises when I try to set the IP address of
this new card to 192.168.0.1, windows tells me that
network card number 1 already has this ip address
assigned and warns me it may cause problems.

How can i remove the old information from Windows so it
thinks this card is the new one?

Please reply by email

Cheers
