Configure the DHCP Settings of a Network Adapter (Windows NT/2000/XP)
Category: Home > Network > Protocols > TCP-IP
This setting controls whether TCP/IP should use DHCP to automatically assign an IP address, or if it should use the statically defined address.
Open your registry and find the key below, where {Adapter} equals the service name of the installed network card.
Change the value of 'EnableDHCP' to equal either '0' for disabled, or '1' for enabled.
Note: If you change this setting to disabled, make sure you have IP addressing information defined.
