problems with network setup under win2000
Hi,
I've got a Win2000-system with two network adapters, which work in different sub nets (192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0). This setup did work for severak month without any problem until the whole machine crashed und thereby the hdd was destroyed. After replacing the HDD and installing the win2000 again I encountered a weird behavior with the network adapters, which sometimes did disappear from the list of hardware after rebooting the system and had to be reinstalled. Sometimes I got three network adapters (only two were active). The setup for the IP protocols were sometimes reset to DHCP after reboot.A deinstallation and removing the network adapters and a new installation did solve the problem for about two weeks. Now I've got the problem again. The IP-setup is reset to DHCP and does not even accept the changes made by me. An OK on the IP-setup and immideatelly accessing the IP-setup dialog again shows me the old setup (DHCP again). Scandisk did not find any errors on the HDD. Is it possible that the crash of the system did not only damage the HDD but also the mainboard and/or CPU? The strange thing is that the system behavior is only unpredictable in the IP-setup - nowhere else. Any ideas? Asi |

If it's the 169.xxx a default IP being assigned it's a sign that the machine is having problems and cannot obtain a valid DHCP IP nor can you assign a static IP either. Duane |
