Impossible to change the network name/icon

My PC has three available networks. One is the network of the company, the other is a network of Connectify and the third is my guest network only Virtualbox.

The corporate network and Connectify can I change the names of by clicking on their icons in the network and sharing Center. No problem. But for the network Virtualbox Host-only, I can click on the icon, but I can't type a different name, do not choose a different icon. The text box for the name is read-only, and there is no button 'choose icon '.

Why?

Virtualbox Host-only networking is currently showing as 'Unidentified network - Public network' with a bench icon. I don't want that, because it is incorrect. It's actually a * very * private network, nothing public about it, so I wanted to change his name at least.

Why inappropriate?

How can I qualify?

Thank you!

  • Impossible to change the network name to an existing network

    During a recent upgrade of windows 7 to 10 the procedure at about 80% and froze with the error 8007002C - 4000D. Windows 10 not able to complete its update, the system proceeded to reinstall windows 7. Once this is finished, I found that he had lost access to internet, ipconfig address had been changed and a new unidentified network had been set up, which I'm unable to edit or delete. After spending 2 days trying to get this PC to normal with 7. I tried the 10 upgrade again, but with the same result. I can't figure out how to get my PC to Windows 7 because I don't know how I've changed the name of the network in the first problem.

    To explain my network configuration of the PC with the problem Desktop which is Ethernet is connected to a router with 3 laptops wireless and a wireless printer. Laptop computer and printer seem to work fine, and the Office can see these devices but cannot connect to the internet or a network.

    I fixed the IP address of the desktop computer and tried everything I can think but cannot add this PC to your existing network.

    Why Windows 10 cause this problem that I'm not sure, but my main concern right now is to get this PC to its previous state.

    You would be extremely grateful if anyone could offer some advice.

    Thank you

    Fortunately, I managed to solve the above problem.

    After contacting my antivirus software company to find out if one of their customers had the same problem and the reception not good answers. I found another forum that advised people to uninstall the antivirus software and disconnect all external devices such as hard drives external, printers etc.

    After following these tips Windows 10 downloaded and installed without any problems.

    Hope this helps other people with the same problems.

  • LaserJet M1536dnf: Impossible to change the host name on HP LJ M1536dnf

    Hi everyone;

    I'm changing the host name on our printer that is currently Imprimante1 that's not what I'm looking for (I have no idea how it was change or not at all).

    I tried to access the printer via IP in a browser (tried Chrome, IE and Edge) still occur. I see the host name to the title of the network, however, I am not able to change it.

    I also thought I might be able to install the software and use the Toolbox, except that during the installation, the Toolbox links are created in the start menu, but it is never installed (confirmed uninstall reinstall twice)

    So yes, here it is...

    Anyone have any ideas on the issue?

    See you soon,.

    Do not know your printer exactly, but on most of these when you go to the web page, you must go to networking and you will need to go in which change you the method of how it gets ip address or an ip.  On this screen will be the ability to set the IP in a manual address and the area that contains the host name you should be able to click on it and change the name.

  • Impossible to change the network location of the public in the network and sharing Center.

    I'm unable to change the network location of the public to the private sector or at home. In network and sharing Center, he is listed as unidentified network, and under "Public network" is written in black and is not clickable.

    I have a connection high speed (USB connected) also listed above under "Home network", it is written in blue and is clickable.

    The affected connection is an XBOX 360 connected via a network cable. I wish to connect the XBOX to the Internet via ICS, but cannot do so until this connection is either private or at home.

    Things I've tried so far;

    Reinstall the drivers,

    disconnect and reconnect, turning on all the elements concerned.

    All ideas,

    Tourist shifty.

    Enable ICS on the connection Strip and not on the XBOX 360 connection.  When you do this, the connection of the XBOX 360 will still be confused with a public network, but everything should work. Boulder computer Maven

  • E3000 change the network name of the client

    When I configured everything first the E3000 I called CiscoRouter device, and I got:

    (a) CiscoRouter

    (b) CiscoRouter-comments

    I then decided to change the name of the device for: Alberto-network and now I have:

    (a) Alberto Network

    (b) CiscoRouter-comments

    I have not foud a way to change the name of the connection of comments.

    Cisco COnnect allows me to change the password for the network comments, but not the name.

    How can I change the name of the connection of comments?

    Alberto smell, MD

    As dalime said, you must set the name of the router and then the guest account is generated on that basis.  But it's a bit stupid.  If you have configured your router from the web panel name or after you set up your guest account, it will generate a generic name of Cisco.

    Solution:

    (1) disable comments

    (2) change the name of the router (as dalime has shown)

    (3) (cancel) the stupid usb key exchange request

    (4) change the name of the router to what it should be

    (5) (cancel) the stupid usb key exchange request

    (6) turn on comments and now he will recognize the name of the OK to add router "-guest" at the end of

  • Help with script to change the network name.

    Hello

    I made a small script to help me rename the label of network on a portgroup and then correct the label of network on all the virtual machines with this label.

    I came across the problem that it could not update on the virtual machines network label because the portgroup did not exist (this must be because it does not wait for the first order at the end?). I fixed that by doing a line with: "Start-Sleep-seconds 10.

    The script works, but I don't like the solution with 10 sec sleep because it could go wrong if the portgroup takes more than 10 seconds to create (unlikly).

    I tried different things, for example "Wait-task" but without success.

    any ideas?

    $esxi = Read-host "enter the IP address of the host."

    $portgroup_old = Read-host "Enter the name of the portgroup you wish to rename.

    $portgroup_new = Read-host "enter the new name of the portgroup.

    Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_old | Game-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_new

    Start-Sleep - seconds 10

    Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old} | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $portgroup_new - confirm: $false

    Unfortunately, with groups of standard port vSwitch, that's what you're stuck with.

    You could try a loop 'while' like this instead:

    Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_old | Game-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_new

    While (Get-VMHost-name $esxi |) Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old})

    {Get-VMHost-name $esxi |} Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old} | {Set-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $portgroup_new - confirm: $false}

  • Impossible to change the name of the Table in figures

    I'm unable to change the title of a table, when I change the title name and press on enter it reverts to the original title. I tried to click away and save the document, but both go back to the original title. The only way to work is, it seems if the option a table a few times then start trying a new title.

    This can happen when you have a table with the same name on the same sheet.  Numbers of refuses to accept the name "double".  Check the names of the tables on the al sheet again.  One way to do that is to click the right part of the tab "" at the top with the sheet and inspect the table names in the drop-down menu that appears.
