using windows 11 on a network that does not have a router, i set my IP to static and set the IP and all other info needed for the network, then for some reason the IP address reverts to 169.254.20.10. this is a private network. is there a way to stop windows form doing the IP Change.

Static IP on Lumia 950.

Hi,

Follow the steps below and check if the features to apply static IP is available in your device.

• Navigate to settings.
• Search or navigate to “Wi-Fi”.
• Scroll all the way down and tap “static ip”.
• Turn on “Configure network settings manually”.
• Key in the IP address, subnet mask and other details

Note: Do remember that your router / DHCP should support allocating static IP for this feature to work.

If the above feature is not available then your model may not support the same.

Hope this helps

Regards

 

is setting different static IPs for different networks available ?

hello

i have a situation here

i'm using static IP for Network #1 which is 192.168.1.110

but when i try joining another network let's say network #2 with a router address like 192.168.43.1 i have to change network settings and use another static IP 192.168.43.10

can't i just ask windows to use static IP 192.168.1.110 when i try to connect to network #1 and 192.168.43.10 when i connect to network #2 without having to manually configure it every time ?

i know this seems a bit of nonsense question but i really have to use static IPs when connecting to those two particular networks

thanks in advance

 

network settings reset upon boot

the router is set to be a DHCP server - but im trying to run static ip's for the computer. there is a static ip option in the drop down menu, but then i have to manually put in my ecternal ip settings for the internet, which my old router did not ask for...should i set it to static ip and use the settings that the router pulls from the isp via the DHCP setting?

EDIT: i just looked and under "Internet Set-up" its set to DHCP, and under "Network Set-up" i have DHCP disabled.

no, just the firmware that came with it. its a lot more complicated the the router i had been using. i've seen tomato mentioned in the forum quite a few times so that will be my next step
