ozgeek Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I have iphone 4 (yes that's right, 3 years and still working great and still looks new). and windows 7. Whenever I connect my computer to the iphone's internet via tethering, it'd create a new network connection. Everytime I tether, I get a window asking me to select a location for the network (Home, Work, Public). Each time I tether, the connection says, "iPhone 1", next time I tether, it now says "iPhone 2", next time "iPhone 3", on and on. I'm up to "iPhone 30". The word "iPhone" is the name of the iphone I gave it. Yep simple really. It comes up in Computer as iPhone and itunes as iPhone. Same for my ipad as iPad. Simple. that is why it is showing up as iPhone in network. Why is it creating a new network everytime? I haven't changed anything. Haven't got a new connection. I do have ADSL and switch between the two connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted April 20, 2013 Veteran Share Posted April 20, 2013 "Expected" because Windows sees a different gateway each time. Since you don't have a static IP either will always cause that to happen. You can combine em but guess no way to fix that per say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
