APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing)
- NOTE: disabling and re-enabling the Idrive Wireless NIC will restart it correctly to 192.168.0.10/25; until the next update that messes it up again
Stopping the mechanism in a small network that automatically allocated NIC Addresses in an IP address in the range of 169.254.x.x if no DHCP server can be contacted.
It may be desirable to disable this automatic setting change; to do this perform the following:
Start the registry editor (Regedit.exe) Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
- Select the required interface (double click each and look for the address 192.168.0.10)
- From the Edit menu select New - DWORD value (Maybe a QWORD value if 64Bit)
- Enter a name of IPAutoconfigurationEnabled and press Enter
- Double click the new value and set to 0.
- Click OK
Close the registry editor
