Static IP Address won't stay set
This has probably come up before, but I didn't notice any threads that seemed related.
I've been looking into some minor glitches in my W7 install (calculator & chkdsk).
I noticed that my static IP address vanished!
W7 has always had "flaky" network behaviour, so I wasn't concerned (just annoyed).
I reset the details and Windows demanded that I restart.
I restarted and checked the settings and the static IP address had vanished again.
I repeated this several times (with the same result each time).
The static address was present a couple of weeks ago (I took a screenshot to add to my records).
Someone is "hammering" our wireless router trying to get in, so I've run a malware scan (clean).
I've also run "sfc /scannow".
I was thinking about reinstalling my operating systems anyway (I need to resize some partitions).
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
