TCP/IP Properties blank

Running Vista Ultimate on a Netgear ADSL router.

I have a strange problem developed, I normally run on a manually configured
IP address of 192.168.0.215, now when I go into TCP/IP properties, the IP
and Subnet are blank. If I enter the address the PC connects but when I come
back to look at TCP/IP properties, the information is blank again. I tried
to change the address to 192.168.0.190, I still get the blank address boxes
when I go back to look at properties again and an IPCONFIG/ALL shows me
connected to both 192.168.0.215 and .190 as preferred connections. Any ideas
?

Thanks Robert,
I've had a read through various of the articles but nothing is exactly

same problem.

I have have pasted the results of an IPCONFIG below

Before the IPaddress went blank I had selected 192.168.0.190 as the
preferred IP address, 192.168.0.215 was what I was using before. I don't
know where the 192.168.0.10 comes from, it has just appeared

Re: TCP/IP Properties blank

It seems to me you use static IP. Can you use DHCP? If not, may sure you
assign just one IP address. To do that, open the properties of the LAN.
Select IPv4>Alternate configuration, make sure other IP address. Please post
back with the result.
