This is the only way I could find to post this.

Hello

*Network and sharing center “number”.  Every time your network adapter gets reinstalled, either by driver fault, manually, or OS upgrade, it increments the private network number. It is a Windows annoyance and has been for years.

To fix both pcs;

Change network name i.e. network3 to network = run   secpol.msc

Network List Manager Policies

double click/tap on your current network name.

type new name + click ok      Leave not configured.

>>>Please note that this pasting was done with workarounds; MSIE 11 did not paste.

Firefox had me open the box that opens when you tic open with Word.  Then click c v it,  then when ok was clicked, it displaeyed on the dialgue box.

If anyone can suggest why MSIE 11 doesnot work or why Firefox requires the workaround, please let me know.

Hello

For those, if any, who have trouble copying and pasting here, this is my workaround. It is probably on my end.

 

What the Tech workaround to paste = use FireFox. Copy your work and at WTT click new thread then click little Word icon which will open a small box and tell you to cv in this little box. When you ok it, it then appears in the dialogue box.

This for those who cannot paste here and perhaps it is a browser issue.
