    Clearing out previously 'found/used' wireless networks...

    I've just changed Routers & ISP's (and have had this problem before)

    But I have two machines, one which works flawlessly without hitch after the swap (hers, typical) and mine, which refuses to connect to the network (which i gave the same SSID) no matter what I change (Fixed IP, Channel of the Wifi etc...)

    The only solution I've found is to change the SSID to something else, which I dont really want to do.

    Is there a way to clear out all previous SSID/Wifi info.

    Also, I reinstalled my Wifi Nic and its showing as 'connection 3' now, when its really connection 1. (in my mind) where in the reg is this info kept?

    [e!] Ok, the Nic # can be edited in registry, but SSID/network settings cleaner?

    yeah but as found out, that doesnt do much, but remove them from the list.

    i cleared out my connections in the reg, rebooted and fingers crossed its been fine since.
