Gateway static IP address disappears everytime I restart
Now you see it now you don't. Here's the scenario. When I reboot
everytime, the gateway static IP address disappears. I have to manually enter it again. Everytime! I'm using Vista 32 Business SP2 on a Thinkpad X60s notebook. Why does this happen and what's the solution? |

I don't know why it happens, but you could try using device Manager to uninstall your network adapter, reboot and let Windows rediscover the adapter. Windows Update is notorious for adding "new" drivers for network adapters. Perhaps the latest one you received isn't quite right for the firmware it's running. |

I don't know why it happens, but you could try using device Manager to
uninstall your network adapter, reboot and let Windows rediscover the adapter. Windows Update is notorious for adding "new" drivers for network adapters.. Perhaps the latest one you received isn't quite right for the firmware it's running. Hi Sinner, Thanks for the reply. It's exactly what I did and it somehow solved it. For now. But it didn't come easily though. Let me tell you what happened: When I deleted the device, rebooted and entered the static IPs, Vista sees 2 networks and refuses to connect. The multiple networks are our corporate LAN and "Unidentified Network." However when I view the status of each network from Network and Sharing Center, they're the same, ie all static IPs are the same. There’s only 1 network! But I don't know why Vista sees 2 networks when there is only 1. The other mystery is this: even if View Status from NSC shows the correct IPs, when I check it through the command line it's different. It also says DHCP enabled when it's not. They’re just different viewing interfaces to show the same thing: your IP configuration yet they show different things. One shows the static IPs as entered, the command line shows what seems like random IPs but is actually indicative of a DHCP configuration that has not found a valid IP. A vista bug? So what I did was to get a new IP for my laptop (Default Gateway, Subnets, DNS remains the same) from our netads and it seems to working now. But as for the mysteries as to why Vista behaves as such, they remain unsolved. Well that’s Vista. I’m thinking of getting a macbook pro. |

I'm using Vista 32 Business SP2 on a Thinkpad X60s notebook. Why does this happen and what's the solution? Same here.. but on a 17.3" Toshiba laptop., 3GB, Dual core AMD, 32 bit vista prem home.. Everything was working patches, reboots, etc. until I installed SP2 then all manually config'd wired network access was gone.. IP.. subnet mask.. default route... poof ... (ipconfig showed an unresolved DHCP addr with a class B subnet mask) And my problem was a bit more severe. Vista would ignored any and all the IPv4 manual IP settings main page for that 10/100/Ge network wired adapter (it would retain them from reboot to reboot, but the settings had no effect.) Vista just ignored the manual settings and reverted to an unresolved DHCP addr and mask. Then I got an idea.. disable DHCP and leave the rest of main page Manual IP settings blank, and enter them in Advanced page. That worked for the IPv4 addr and subnet mask.. (P.S. Those settings carried back into the main page, since only one manual IP addr was assigned) and Vista continued to use those settings from reboot to reboot. But, I still loose the gateway setting after each reboot.. (looks like this a reoccuring theme on the usenet group.. I.E. gateway 0.0.0.0 posts) PS. Subsequent patch download and updated both wireless and enet adapter, with no effect. Looks like someone @M$ failed to test their new SP2 code before inflicting it upon the real world.. |
