Cannot rename connection :"name already exists"
Not sure what to tweak to get rid of the pre-named connected. I wanted to try readynas remote on my windows 7 sp1 pc and it wasn't working and I think to start it wasn't clearing the last ip so I set it back to 5.0.0.3 and defaults in stickied posts(like I did on my vista pc to partialy fix it(it crashed when I had no nas connections I think). End result I tried uninstalling and reinstall and now I have this error "Cannot rename connection :"name already exists" "please select a different name" and no pop-up was made available to do what it asked.
I did try to make sure I had "run as admin" from right-click selected though it was the same whether I right click or just double clicked.
Thanks for any help.

- O.k first thought is "is there other names in hardware manager than leaf network[adaptor?]" since I can't find another name for it. Second thought is my virtualbox adapter is being seen as as an adapter like leaf wants to install and its sees it as taken. Any chimes in if I'm going to end up uninstalling my virtualbox and reinstalling after doing the remote install?
Continued thanks
