I recently got a new laptop with Vista Business 32bit edition, and I'm still
trying to configure the network settings by adding a second static IP address, so that it can see with the other pc's in the network. The network infrastructure is set up as the following: there is a DSL router in bridge mode, so all pc's connected to the network have a direct connection to the internet, and get their ip address from the ISP's DHCP server. Also the other pc's (with XP and linux) have a secondary IP address set up e.g. 192.168.1.10 so they can access a NAS also hooked up to the network, but not connected to the internet. It was quite easy to configure XP based on this article http://www.petri.co.il/configure_tcp...static_ip_addr... but the registrty key in Vista are somewhat different, and it doesn't seem to work. Do you have any suggestion to how to add a secondary static ip addrss to Vista? |

Hi
In the Control Pane; Network and Sharing Center, click on the view status that is right to the connection line. In the Widows that open click on properties. The rest is like Windows XP.

Hi

Thanks, but this I got so far already.
Maybe my question was not clear enough: I want to configure the network settings so that Vista is using a static IP address - for the local network, and is simultaneously using a DHCP obtained IP address - to connect to the network. Any suggestions how it can be set up? Cheers "Jack (MVP-Networking)." wrote: Hi Sorry I clicked Send by a mistake before correcting the spelling. It should be.
