NoteHKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Network Connections
| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Determines whether users can use Network and Dial-up Connections to configure TCP/IP, DNS, and WINS settings.
This entry stores the setting of the Allow TCP/IP advanced configuration Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy, Group Policy sets the value to 0. If you set the policy to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 1.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | The policy is disabled. The Advanced button is disabled and the users cannot open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box. |
| 1 (or not in registry) | The policy is enabled or not configured. The Advanced button on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box is enabled. As a result, users can open the Advanced TCP/IP Settings Properties page and modify IP settings, such as DNS and WINS server information. |
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Allow TCP/IP advanced configuration policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network and Dial-up Connections).
Note
If the NC_LanProperties entry or the NC_LanChangeProperties entry is set to 0, users cannot gain access to the Advanced button. As a result, this entry is ignored.
Tip
To open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box, in Network and Dial-up Connections, right-click a local area connection, and click Properties. In the Components checked are used by this connection box, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click the Properties button, and then click the Advanced button.
