I have configured my network interface on Windows and gave it a static IP address.
After it got enabled, I notice that the name of the network is Network 3
:
In Linux, we know that
Interface_name
come from the config file under/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
; for example,system eth0
comes from theifcfg-eth0
file. So, how does Windows name the network interface?Why is the name of my network
Network 3
, notNetwork 1
? (What happened toNetwork 1
andNetwork 2
?
