Re: Noob question on registry

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Check reginit.ini in the flat release directory and see what settings
actually ended up in the registry (and make sure that you don't have
persistent registry on the device and are using an old registry saved that
way). You should also make sure that you're changing the *right*
EnableDHCP. It's silly to change all of them. Change the one associated
with the card whose IP you actually want to set.

Thanks Paul,
I found several entries in platform.reg for "EnableDHCP" and set them all
to
dword:0 and added my static IP settings then did a Make Run-Time Image and
Attach Device. When I go to my connection properties on my platform it
still
has DHCP as the default. Do I need to do a Build and Sysgen or am I
missing
something else?

Thank you,
Richard

The build system is set up to allow registry settings from a variety of
sources. Any .REG file in the flat release directory when the image is
built will contribute its settings to the registry. In particular,
platform.reg (highest priority), and project.reg (next highest), are
accessible via Platform Builder for platform/project-wide types of
settings.

The particular settings you are talking about won't be anywhere, because
it
would be silly for Microsoft to try to assign a static IP address,
subnet,
etc. as a default for all devices. The default for any network device is
going to be DHCP assignment of IP and other parameters. You can change
that
with your own new settings (and set EnableDHCP to 0, rather than the
default
of 1).

Hello all,
How is it possible to modify registry settings in PB? Specifically I
want
to
setup the static IP, Subnet, Gateway and DNS settings so when the
platform
boots it has those settings without having to set them in the dialog. I
think
it's in Parameter View but I can't find those settings.

Thanks in advance,
Richard
