Hello all,
I am in a bit of a bind - no pun intended. I would like to know how to reliable set the persistent IP address of an interface that may be disconnected when the address is set. I can set an address and it will be stored in the ActiveStore but that does not really help if I need it next time I reboot. I have tried using netsh and WMI but they don't seem to create a persistent address on the disconnected interface. Now if I us ncpa.cpl I can do it all day long so it must be possible. In fact if I do it that way the registry settings change. So, I figured I would go that route (modifying the registry) but, alas, that does not work either - upon reboot the address shown in the interface properties show a blank IP address, gateway, and netmask. It is interesting that it is using a static address though.
Thanks for your help
Robert
