AndyD Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I tried uninstalling NIC and rebooting etc - no matter what I do, the IP settings go back to default. Could it be a bad NIC? I've been having random issues with Motherboard - usb ports and other Nic not working properly anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been having random issues with Motherboard - usb ports and other Nic not working properly anymore What are the actual changes you are making to the NIC? That is the 1st place to look as there are numerous settings that can be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 ip, subnet, gateway and dns I'm pretty familiar with these sort of changes so handling should be fine. Plus I don't get any errors when I close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All settings pertaining to the nic are saved in the OS. The motherboard or card have nothing to do with it. You can try removing the drivers and reinstalling.

sc302 Veteran Posted July 2, 2015 Veteran Share Posted July 2, 2015 Try resetting ip stack Elevated command prompt Netsh int ip reset c:\reset.txt Netsh winsock reset Shutdown -r -t 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Technologie Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 In device manager, simply fully uninstall the network adapter, then reboot. It should be fine then; as all IP, gateway, and subnet configuration will be lost upon uninstalling the network card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daorbed9 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Well the issue may be why did it get this way? Did you mess with some security software? Having corrupted or broken network stack is usually just a symptom of a greater problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clirion Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 ++ what daorbed said, as well as one other question. Are you changing this from DHCP to Static IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manroweb Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 If changing from DHCP to static check if another NIC in the system is set to static already, which is on a different subnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 can you set it in your router or switch or access point? Does it stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted July 3, 2015 MVC Share Posted July 3, 2015 "no matter what I do, the IP settings go back to default." So your trying to go from dhcp which would be default to a static setup.. So do an ipconfig /all and then a Netsh interface ip show config then change your setting via netsh in an elevated prompt and what do you get for the output, then do a ipconfig /all C:\>ipconfig /all Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : i5-w7 Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : local.lan Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : local.lan Ethernet adapter Local: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : local.lan Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 18-03-73-B1-0D-D3 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.9.100(Preferred) Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Tuesday, June 30, 2015 8:10:50 AM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Saturday, July 04, 2015 8:10:49 AM Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.9.253 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.9.253 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.9.253 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled C:\>Netsh interface ip show config Configuration for interface "Local" DHCP enabled: Yes IP Address: 192.168.9.100 Subnet Prefix: 192.168.9.0/24 (mask 255.255.255.0) Default Gateway: 192.168.9.253 Gateway Metric: 0 InterfaceMetric: 10 DNS servers configured through DHCP: 192.168.9.253 Register with which suffix: None WINS servers configured through DHCP: None Configuration for interface "Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1" DHCP enabled: No IP Address: 127.0.0.1 Subnet Prefix: 127.0.0.0/8 (mask 255.0.0.0) InterfaceMetric: 50 Statically Configured DNS Servers: None Register with which suffix: None Statically Configured WINS Servers: None C:\>netsh interface ip set address "Local" static 192.168.9.101 255.255.255.0 192.168.9.253 1 C:\>ipconfig /all Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : i5-w7 Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : local.lan Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : local.lan Ethernet adapter Local: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 18-03-73-B1-0D-D3 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.9.101(Preferred) Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.9.253 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled C:\>Netsh interface ip show config Configuration for interface "Local" DHCP enabled: No IP Address: 192.168.9.101 Subnet Prefix: 192.168.9.0/24 (mask 255.255.255.0) Default Gateway: 192.168.9.253 Gateway Metric: 1 InterfaceMetric: 10 Statically Configured DNS Servers: None Register with which suffix: None Statically Configured WINS Servers: None Configuration for interface "Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1" DHCP enabled: No IP Address: 127.0.0.1 Subnet Prefix: 127.0.0.0/8 (mask 255.0.0.0) InterfaceMetric: 50 Statically Configured DNS Servers: None Register with which suffix: None Statically Configured WINS Servers: None you then can set dns with netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver "local" address=192.168.9.253 index=1 C:\>ipconfig /all Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : i5-w7 Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : local.lan Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : local.lan Ethernet adapter Local: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 18-03-73-B1-0D-D3 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.9.101(Preferred) Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.9.253 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.9.253 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled So does this work or not, where does it fail?

AndyD Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Thanks guys! Bunch a good tips that I didn't think of. I'll try the cmd route now - in the last 20 years that I have been manually setting my IP address, I never thought of just doing it in the cmd prompt ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 So I tried it - it seems like it does it but when I go into the properties it's still set on DHCP. It is using the IP I want though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc302 Veteran Posted July 3, 2015 Veteran Share Posted July 3, 2015 Did you try my instructions to reset the ip stack. This does not get reset when you remove the nic drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
