Hello, for some reason like an idiot a few days ago I followed a tutorial to save some frames on a game and it told me to copy my local windows ipv4 address and replace that value in DhpIPAddress in the registry : (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\One-of-the-folders-where-DhcpIPAddress-appears) I'd like to reset that value to its default value, but I don't know how. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The easiest way to perhaps reset this would be to use Device Manager and just remove the offending network adapter then telling it to scan for new hardware and reinstalling it... Once you start messing in the registry things can get hairy.
