The first thing you need to identify is the name of the network interface you want to modify. Not sure what to put as an Alternate DNS server so I left that blank.Would you like to configure the IP address and DNS settings of your Windows PC just using the command prompt? Rather than click through the user interface, these items can quickly be set with just a few commands. Which is, in true Microsoft style, misleading as the problem is the DNS address and not DHCP. If you leave the preferred DNS server blank an invalid dns server is used and no internet connection is available giving the diagnostic message 'DHCP is not enabled for "Local Area Connection"'. You cannot switch the DNS server back to automatic if you have selected a static IP address. The DNS radio button automatically switches to 'Use the following DNS server addresses'.Įnter the static IP address (usually 192.168.1.?), Subnet mask usually (255.255.255.0), the Default Gateway (usually 192.168.1.1) AND the Preferred DNS server as the same as the Default Gateway. Select the radio button for 'Use the following IP address'. Select 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' and click 'Properties'. Select Settings/Network & Internet/Ethernet/Change adapter optionsĭouble click Ethernet icon and on opened Ethernet status window click 'Properties'. The DNS address should be the router which controls IP addresses and internet connection acting as the domain name server connection to the internet which must be manually entered when entering the static IP address. The DNS addresses will be incorrect unless manually input when you set a static IP address for TCP/IPv4.
This is applicable to Windows 10 Pro, but may be the answer for other Windows versions.
