    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

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