Hello,

I did this to get Internet access on my Windows-VMs: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Network_Model#Masquerading_.28NAT.29_with_iptables

Everytime I start Windows it asks me what network location it is: home, work or public. How do I stop this? It also seems the network number is rising everytime, e.g. "network 11", "network 12" etc..

I am using Windows 7 Professional.

Regards,

Afox

PS: I know you can mark all future networks as public. But this solution doesn´t seem to address the problem why the same adapter gets recognized as new network every time.
