Forget Wired Connection Windows 10???

[The White Knight]

Why is this so hard to do? I was trying to connect my Win10 to WinXP to transfer files so I changed the ip config and now that I put everything back this unidentified network remains. I know it's not affecting anything but I liked it before when it wasn't there.

Please tell me how to get things back to before. Also my main wired network switched to private when I had it originally set to public and I don't see where I can change this.

which thing connects to where?

What do you mean? The wireless card is disabled and the unidentified network is a duplicate that I want to delete. The top one is the correct connection. It's not interfering with anything it's just a visual bug.

it has been a long time since I used these commands but have your tried:

run cmd.exe as an admin
ipconfig .exe /flushdns
ipconfig.exe /release
ipconfig.exe /renew

i think it will be the first command, otherwise I think you have to wait for the cache to expire (maybe a week? not sure how long it would take)

Yes, still there. This happened while changing ip settings manually for connecting to another device using a crossover cable.

any active connections to the server:
net.exe use * /d

to kill the connections. (just making guesses at what i would try)
