Configure TCP IP To Use DHCP and A Static IP Address at The Same Time
Configure TCP IP To Use DHCP and A Static IP Address at The Same Time
To configure your computer (tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003) to use both a DHCP
obtained IP address and a statically configured IP address follow these steps:
3. Select TCP/IP (make sure you don't remove the check mark accidentally) and press the Properties
button.
4. Make sure you have "Obtain Automatically" selected.
5. You can verify your settings by running ipconfig /all at a Command Prompt:
1. Click Start and choose Run. Enter Regedit and press Enter.
2. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSetServices\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{XX-X-X-X-XXX}
(actual GUID of the NIC may vary, select the one that represents your own NIC (from step 2 above)
4. In the Edit Multi String dialog box enter a second (and third and so on) IP address. Make sure you enter
each IP on a separate line. Click Ok.
11. Done!
Windows 98 users: This trick can also be accomplished with Windows 98, only there you need to modify the
following registry path (instead of the one in step 2 above):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class'\etTrans
In Windows 98 you'll also need to reboot your computer for the trick to work.
