Hi
I have this problem, i change my ethernet adapter some days ago and
evrithing was OK.
Now i'm try to change the TCP/IP settings for the connection but when i
comfirm my inputs the system show me the massage more or less "This IP
Address is already assigned to the network card (the name of the removed
network card) that is not visible in the folder 'Network and remote
connection' because is not inserted in the PC or is not working properly ..."
Some one know how/if is possible to remove the link to the old network card ?

Thank you.
 
In Device manager, View, Show Hidden and remove/uninstall the old NIC as
it has the IP you want to use.
 
To display hidden devices, non-Plug and Play devices, and devices not
attached to the computer (commonly known as "ghosted" or "phantom" devices)
Save the following two lines as a file then execute.

--------------------------setdev.bat---------------------
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
start devmgmt.msc
---------------------------------------------------------

Then, View|Show Hidden Devices to remove or reconfigure these devices. Do
not edit the registry.
