Deleting network on Windows 7

by rmdial Feb 4, 2011 2:42PM PST

I have a Win7 PC, Win7 laptop, and printer connected via ethernet in my home. It was on a network using a D Link router but changed it today to another router. I now want to delete the network information and let Win7 help me set up the new network. Is there a way to simply delete all network settings?

Did you try selecting it (single click) and pressing the delete button?

Tried to delete Network but all it said was "are you sure you want to delete the Network icon"

Odd choice

I thought you wanted to delete the network shown in that app.

Again, use the panel that shows the network you want to delete and then try again.
