So im out on a ghost hunt looking for this network adapter ghost. It has a static ip address attached to it and i want it back.
I checked high and low in the registry, i ran the network reset on windows 10 and still did not remove the network adapter, i reset ARP and its tables even deleting the whole thing, and does not show at all in device manager even when i used the command prompt to have it show hidden devices and then selected "show hidden devices" in device manager.
Yet every time i try to assign a static IP to my new NIC, it says "the ip address you have entered for this network adapter is already assigned to 'intel gigabit CT desktop adapter #2'
Its not here anymore. in fact, its actually sitting in my test bed as i type this.
What else can i do?
