Why configuring manual IP do not work for me in DHCP?
- by user58859
I have broadband connection in my laptop. It's getting the IP by protocol.
configuration is :
ip : 192.168.1.2
subnet : 255.255.255.0
gateway : 192.168.1.1
Now I am curious, In IPV4 properties when instead of choosing "Obtain an IP address automatically", I choose "Use the following IP address" and configure everything same, why it do not work? Do DHCP do not work when we configure the IP manually?
(operating system : windows-7)
EDIT : After configuring the ip manually, when I used ipconfig/all , it's showing dhcp enabled : NO. I am not doing it. Why it got disabled automatically? and how to enable it?
