Set Fixed IP Address Impossible
It seems) Windows 7 assigns itself random IP addresses at each boot, causing problems with a wireless connected laptop.
Trying to assign a fixed IP address through the Network Connections/TCP-IPv6 dialogue gives an error box 'In order to configure TCP/IP you must install and enable a network adaptor card' Arrant nonsense as the details of the adaptor card are clearly visible in the previous dialogue. I can access my three wired machines and the Internet, thus it seems obvious that the adaptor is installed and working !!!
What am I missing.
