Can't reset to obtain an IP address automatically !!!!

Hi,

For some reason (network problem) I change my network connection from
"obtaining an IP address automaticaly" to "Use the following address".

Now, I want to change again and set tcp/ip to "obtain IP automatically" ...
So easy ... but NO WAY to set it back.

I already regboot 10 times my machine and the configuration come always back
the static address I enter before.
I can change the static address but NEVER come back to "obtain IP
automatically" (the same for the DNS part).

Pleaaaaseeee any help from microfot or other ... it sounds like a bug but I
can't connect to my networks anymore ...

Vista english RC1

Many thanks ...

Pierre

RE: Can't reset to obtain an IP address automatically !!!!

Are you making these changes in Control Panel, Network and sharing center,
Manage network connections?
