Re: Automatically get new IP settings for the network adapter
okay, the registry has been edited and the encryption changed to WPA2.
However, upon rebooting the system 3 times a static IP address is still
required for the internet connection to work. In the network and sharing
center the connection shows up as Identifying...(public network) each reboot.

While editting the laptop registry I noticed differences compared to my
desktop:
DhcpDefaultGateway not there (desktop = 192.168.1.1)
DhcpDomain not there (desktop = mygateway.net)
DhcpIPAddress = 0.0.0.0 (desktop's = 192.168.1.2)
DhcpNameServer not there (desktop = 192.168.0.1)
DhcpServer = 255.255.255.255 (desktop = 192.168.1.1)
DhcpSubnetMask = 255.0.0.0 (desktop = 255.255.255.0)
IPAutoconfigurationAddress = 169.254.59.161 (desktop = 0.0.0.0)

I assume some of these differences are because the laptop OS is Vista Home
Premium and the desktop OS is Vista Ultimate. However, I'm willing to bet
that something is wrong in the laptop's registry. Can't explain it - it just
feels wrong. lol.
