Guest shmulikalef Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Hi, Xp Pro(and Vista Ultimate)Intel Dual Core 2 Giga memory. I have 5 USB Hubs connected (USB 2) - Total 27 USB connection from Hubs and 4 on the Tower. According to the entire publications one computer can be connected by chain to 127 USB connections. So that +- 20-31 Hubs. The question how I can give a label or a name to each Hub? If you connect storage (Disk on key, hard drive, and ctr.) each of the component has a label on the time that connected. But sometimes I receive error about USB hub and is a long story to find which one is wrong. In the device manager all of them the same name. I wrote on all of them a special label and the same name on the USB cable. But when I made the order of the appearance in the Device manager list the order isn't fix it is changing all the time. I possible to gave them a label that appearing in the Device Manager or any another solution to solve the problem? Thanks
