I wouldn't be surprised if the TCP/IP properties dialogs are just a GUI on top of the netsh command tool.

Bingo- they are.
The Big Questions still remain, though: In what location(s) do the settings made with the TCP/IP properties GUI and/or the Network Shell actually get stored, and how do environment variables tie in to all of that?

Er.. cos the GUI wants to execute %sytemroot%\system32\netsh interface set ip "Local area connection" 10.10.10.101 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1

but %sytemroot% = "" so no can do.

What's more worrying is that it died too quietly.

Exactly. It isn't as though the netsh command has exclusive rights to the use of the %systemroot% variable, after all; I'd think that a lot of programs/commands would be affected.

I was very surprised that there were not too many others things effected by this variable not being set.!! But now we know where to look FIRST, if this happens again..!!!

BTW.. DMR ... Did you have a good weekend for your birthday.??

I had a few drinks for you... Boy you sure can drink.!@!

I googled this problem and came to this site. I've read the postings and it was determined that setting the PATH in SYSTEM ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES fixed the problem.

Well, I have the same problem using WINDOWS XP 64 and a Broadcom NetExtreme II driver.

I am able to set a static IP address, SN, GW, DNS. I exit TCP/IP settings by clicking OK.

The IP works and I'm able to see it at DOS level "ipconfig/all". When I go back into TCP/IP settings, my static IP information isn't there. It's set to DHCP instead.

When I reboot, the computer loads the IP succesfully. The information is in the Registry. It's just not in TCP/IP Settings..

A little help.

More info. I have the Broadcom Advance Control Suite and I noticed 4 adapters instead of 2. Two are numbered 46, and the other two are numbered 47. 1 from each pair is greyed back or N/A

(0046) Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE -- Not Accessable
(0046) Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE
(0047) Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE #2
(0047) Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE #2 -- Not Accessable
