Windows 2008-0.0.0.0 IP address

[Guest Steve]

I upgraded from windows 2003 to windows 2008 (enterprise edition for

both)...and upgrade was fine (all drivers updated too). when I put in the IP

address...and click ok...the IP and subnet mask go to 0.0.0.0. the gateway

and dns server stays. i go to the 2nd tab (tcp v4), and I see 0.0.0.0 for the

IP, then the 10.5.x.x that I entered. I remove the 0.0.0.0 and go back to the

original box..and I see it the way I set it up. I click ok..and the same as

before. Is there some type of ipautoconfiguration or something that keeps

putting this 0.0.0.0 in there..and how can I turn it off? this is just a test

server. any help is appreciated. it is a dell2650, broadcom netxtreme and

intel xt NICs (no teaming). thanks. steve

Steve, did you ever get this resolved. I'm having the same issue.
