name is different from others in the same network. You can change
your Computer name in
"My Computer" -> "Control Panel" -> "Network" -> "Identification"

connected to a network device (ex: HUB) and the "connection type"
for this adapter is set to "AutoSense" or the correct media type.

xxxxxxxxxxxx
Default: read address from adapter ROM.
