Tcp/ip resets to

[RvrRt247]

I have an XP OS (SP2), Trying to set up a static IP address in Network Connections. Open Adapter Properties, Select TCP/IP Properties, Select "Use the following IP address", Change IP address/Subnet/Gateway/DSN, Click OK, Click Close on Adapter. This should save the settings I just entered.

 

Although, when I reboot the PC and/or open TCP/IP properties to verify my settings. The properties for the adapter (TCP/IP) are changed back to "obtain an IP address automatically”.

 

I believe the “use the following IP address should remain selected until I change it. This happens whether I am connected to a network or not.

 

Has anyone every experienced this, If so how can I fix it to remain on a static IP address (“use the following IP address”).

 

Please Help.

Do you have norton internet security or some other bloatware thats trying to protect your network settings ?

PS I always set static IP's from the router, it makes things much more simple to manage.

as hardware_dave said

do you have any other software/hardware installed that controls your internet settings.

post a list of all your installed software
