Static IP-adress shows as DHCP setting in TCP/IP under the NIC.

Hi.

I have a strange problem.

I have a Windows Server 2003R2 SP2 with Intel pro 1000 /MT dual network
card.
Its a domain controller and I have set it with a static IP-adress.

When I lookup yhe properties of the TCP/IP protocol to see my static
settings, they appear to set as DHCP.
Under the status of the NIC it still says static with all the correct
settings.

I have reinstalled the NIC without any luck. Updating to newest driver with
no luck.
So my conclusion is that I have some kind of software/reg database problem.

This is very strange. Has anybody seen this before? And is there a solution
without reinstalling the whole server?

The server allso reboots without any notice every now and then. In event
Viewer I see no clue of why.

Hope you can help me out there.....

Hi Morten,

If this is configured as a team, TCP/IP shouldn't be enabled for the
individual NICs, only the virtual team adapter.

As far as yoru reboot problem goes, by default windows will reboot
automatically after a blue screen which is real annoying when you are trying
to troubleshoot a problem. To turn that off, you will want to go to
properties of my computer and select the advanced tab. There you will see
startup and recovery. You will want to uncheck the automatically restart
so that you can document the codes you receive on the blue screen for
troubleshooting. Hope this helps.
