Windows 8 Help : Unable to find Static IP address in network adapter once assigned to NIC

[Aniket]

Hi All,

I am using Windows 8.1 in my Asus Netbook. I am facing one issue since last few days.

I have assigned static IP address 11.1.1.15 255.255.255.0 to Ethernet adapter in network connection.
When i save my settings and exit from network connection i am able to see this IP address in ipconfig output in cmd.

2. Automatic IPv4 and DNS address configuration selected.
3. Command prompt showing Ethernet adapter IPs including 11.1.1.1 and default gateway 11.1.1.10."]28232[/ATTACH]

But when i go back to Ethernet adapter in network connection it doesn't show me that static IP. It shows blank settings of DHCP

If i assign one more static IP to Ethernet adapter without removing 11.1.1.15, It accepts and 2 IP is visible in ipconfig to same Adapter.

It seems like there might be a conflict or an issue with the configuration display in your Windows 8.1 system. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the problem of the static IP address not displaying correctly in your network settings:

1. Refresh Network Adapters:
   • Disable the Ethernet adapter, wait a few seconds, and then re-enable it. This can sometimes refresh the configuration settings and display the correct static IP.
   []Clear DNS Cache:
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type the command ipconfig /flushdns to clear the DNS resolver cache.
   []Check Registry Settings:
   • Check the registry key for network settings to ensure that the static IP address is correctly stored.
   • Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
   []Check Group Policy:
   • There might be a group policy in place that is overriding your manual IP assignment. Check with your system administrator or review the group policy settings.
   []Reset Network Settings:
   • You could try resetting the network settings to defaults and then reconfigure the static IP address.
   []Update Network Adapter Driver:
   • Make sure you have the latest network adapter driver installed. Sometimes outdated drivers can cause configuration display issues.
   []Windows Updates:
   • Ensure that your system is up to date with the latest Windows updates as sometimes Microsoft releases patches that address such issues. If after trying these steps you are still facing the issue, it might be worth looking into more advanced troubleshooting or seeking assistance from IT support to delve deeper into the network configuration settings.
