Re: Windows changes my internet protocol settings

Your election to let "something else" assign you parameters is the root of
your problem.
If you want your parameters to be "static," then assign them statically.
Just be sure to use an IP address that is outside the pool from which the
DHCP server leases addresses to petitioning lessees. You can inspect your
DHCP server for the parameters of this pool.

The information you provided is scant, so it is hard to help you.
It sounds like your laptop is routinely brought into a large network
environment...like a hospital or something...and then brought back home
again.
That implies you lack administrative privileges to inspect the DHCP
server.
Perhaps you could speak with the administrator, then.

Lacking that, I would inspect the parameters (ipconfig /all) while at work.
Then set your SOHO parameters similarly.

Hi Jack, are you there?
I have hardwired this laptop to the router, and although Windows changes
the
TCP/IP settings from obtain automatically to use the following, with each
start I am able to connect to the internet even though there are no DNS
addresses listed. I would still love to know how to configure TCP/IP
settings so Windows doesn't change them. Someone please reply.

Thanks for the help, Tj

General.
The options for both IP address and DNS server can be either; obtain
automatically (which I want) or "use the following", which windows
defaults
to and changes any previous settings. I want windows to default to
"obatain
automatically" like it does on my pc. Thanks

Can you be more specific about the location and what it is changing

Is this a business laptop that are set to use work's network?

Every time I start my laptop (Win Med Ctr) Win changes my Internet
protocol
settings. I am using Linksys network wireless. My pc (Win XP home
SP2)
retains the settings and always connects upon startup, but I have to
reset
everything on my laptop with each start in order to connect to
internet.
The
settings I want under Internet protocol are "obtain IP (and DNS
server)
adresses automatically on my network. How can I pevent Win from
changing
this
setting at each startup?
