Windows 10: 1 PC not using router assigned IP

I have a Trendnet TEW-827DRU router. I set up assigned IP addresses for most of my Ethernet connected devices (Desktop PCs, Home Entertainment Devices, TVs) on the router designated by MAC address.

One Desktop PC is not using it's assigned IP. I want to fix that.

My first idea was to do an ipconfig/release and the an ipconfig/renew, but when I attempt this I get this message:
"No Operation Can Be Performed on Ethernet While It Has It's Media Disconnected"
This comes up twice: Once for the word Ethernet above, and again with Ethernet2.

This PC has 4 Adapters showing. The physical LAN adapter (enabled), plus a VM adapter (enabled), and two virtual adapters for my VPN (both disabled). Could this be what is being referred to as "Media Disconnected"?

Any other ideas on how to force it to use the assigned IP?

:)

 

Which Method can block others person edit my ipv4 address?

Most PC's on a LAN will be assigned the IP by the router that the PC connects to. Many routers let you assign a specific lan IP to a specific connected device's mac id. Turn off your DHCP if you want to keep the same lan IP. But another device may
be using it when you are offline & then you will have problems trying to get connection onto your LAN.

 

Chane N95 IP Address??

Go to advanced settings for your WLAN access point and you can assign an IP for your device from there. Some routers may block it however as it may assign IP addresses (if you want to use staic IP's, turn off DCHP on your router but this is a global effect).

 

What does ipconfig /all show for that Desktop PC, any chance it has a Static IP assigned already ?
Have you tried just doing the release / renew on the physical LAN Adapter only ?

Example:
ipconfig /release TheLanAdapterName
ipconfig /renew TheLanAdpaterName

 

No, not static already.

I'll try that. release/renew thing.

 

DHCP Enabled: True

The LAN adapter is just named "Local Area Connection"
[ ipconfig /release LOC ] returns error message: "The operation failed because no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation".

Also, in ipconfig /All , it show the problem ip 192.168.1.xxx (preferred)
I've never seen (preferred) in the results before.

 

I'm prettyr sure you need to specify the full name (Local Adapter Connection) or use wildcard * ...
ipconfig /release *Local*
ipconfig /renew *Local*

 

Let me try that.
I was following the example shown in the error message from ipconfig when I tried " Local Area Connection ".

 

That worked (*local*) to perform release and renew.
It did not work to change the IP to the chosen default.

Let me check the router settings again. This is making no sense.
(It might be later, I've got people here already to watch the game)

 

DHCP Reservations are correct on the Trendnet.

 

Set a fixed ip use a little then rebbot and set dhcp ip see if that kick it inot life can the pc ping the router ok?

 

Yes. PC pings router, has an IP, and is accessible by all other PCs.
This is just an annoyance/curiosity/OCD issue.

 

Hey TV2,
I don't think this should/would effect anything, so it's a long shot. Are the Static/Assigned IP's you set inside the DHCP Range that's set.

Note: My Router is 192.168.1.1 ... so I use 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.100 for Static IP's and the DHCP Server Range is set to 192.168.101 - 192.168.1.254

 

Just a thought, double check you have the MAC for the Lan port and not some other adapter which may be disabled.

 

Yes, inside the range. More confusingly, the problem address is 192.168.1.105, and my main desktop is 192.168.1.106, and that IP sticks consistently, as do all the higher addresses. Only that one device.
