Lose network settings after reboot.

[B Beatty]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone has a fix for the following
problem. I have two XP machines which are networked
successully UNTIL the system is shut down. When it comes
back up all the network settings are lost and the only way
to get it back is to run the netsetup again which as you
can imagine is very annoying.

I have manually set an IP address with subnet mask and
default gateway, however after a reboot it returns to
obtaining a new IP address, therefore no network!!!

Has anyone seen this prob before and more importantly does
anyone have a fix.

Thanks in advance.

Go to the network connection properties, use the
Alternate Configuration tab and put in the manual
configuration address there.
