I have removed two networking cards from my Win Pro 2000 system and the
system information page still contains the information from those devices. I
have installed a new networking card in this computer and I have installed
one of the network cards I removed in another computer. I am now getting a
popup window stating that there is a conflict of IP address's on these two
computers. How can I remove the device/adapter information from my system so
that it no longer sees the IP address of that old adapter card?
 
To display hidden devices, non-Plug and Play devices, and devices not
attached to the computer (commonly known as "ghosted" or "phantom" devices)
Save the following two lines as a file then execute.

--------------------------setdev.bat---------------------
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
start devmgmt.msc
---------------------------------------------------------

Then, View|Show Hidden Devices to remove or reconfigure these devices. Do
not edit the registry.
