The IP address of the interface is managed by two entries, DhcpIPAddress, which is configured by DHCP, and IPAddress, which you can configure. If the value of IPAddress contains one or more valid values (to replace 0.0.0.0), it overrides the value of DhcpIPAddress.

Change method

To change the value of this entry, use Network and Dial-up Connections. Right-click Local Area Connection, click Properties, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click the Use the following IP address option and then enter the IP address and supporting data in the associated text boxes.

Note Image Note

For each IP address listed in the value of this entry, there must be a valid subnet mask in the value of SubnetMask for the interface.

This entry is added to the registry when you use Network Connections in Control Panel to configure TCP/IP.
