1. The software is in-house software that requires the static IP address be reported when starting up the software. Currently the PC I am trying to set up only reports this IP address when connected to any LAN this is fine but there are times when it needs to run when not connected to a LAN.
2. A second PC has been setup up correctly some time in the past and I am trying to replicate the setup. When the second PC boots up into XP and I check the ipconfig from the command line it reports the IP address even when the LAN is not connected so the setup is unrelated to our software.
3. I'm guessing its some sort of registry hack but a quick comparison of the fields I thought might affect this revealed nothing.
4. So basically when I check the IP address I need it to report:
IP: xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
Subnet 255.XXX.XXX.XXX
and not
Media State: Media disconnected
at all times even when the LAN cable has been removed.
