    Is the Disable option available? If so, disable the connection then see if Delete is available.

    Disable option is available, but after choose Disable is not possible to delete connection. Delete is still not active.

    Verify you are trying to delete the correct thing. There is a difference between a network connection and a network "place ". How and what are you trying to delete?

    I want to setup completely new, small home network. So I need network completely different from previous. My idea was to delete first, and after that to ran Network Setup Wizard again. But I can not delete previous connection.

    Run the wizard again and change the names of the comp & workgroup. This will either create a new network or overwrite the existing one. If it creates a second net then you should be able to then delete the first one. If change the workgroup name then be sure to run the wizard on any other comps on the network, changing to the new workgroup name.

    Thanks TonyT but it does not work:(
    I notice something that is strange for me. As I mention I made an small network. Today I format C partition of my hard disk and install new OS. And my Ethernet card cannot establish connection with Internet. It has IP address and Subnet Mask that was used in previous small home network!!! In Device Manager everything is OK. Now, I use second NIC for Internet Connection.
    Has anybody idea why my Ethernet card always shows the same IP address and the same Subnet mask?(Do not forget that I previously format disk partition with windows)
    p.s
    If I manually set IP and subnet mask to obtain Internet connection it shows connected but no connection
