IPAddress

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ interface-name

Description

Specifies the IP addresses of the interface.

The IP address of the interface is determined by the DhcpIPAddress entry, which the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) configures, and by this entry, which the user can configure. If the value of this entry contains a valid address or list of addresses (to replace 0.0.0.0), it takes precedence over the value of DhcpIPAddress.

Change method

To change the value of this entry, use Network and Dial-up Connections. Right-click Local Area Connection, click Properties, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click Use the following IP address, and then enter the IP address and supporting data in the associated text boxes.

Note

For each IP address listed in the value of this entry, there must be a valid subnet mask in the value of the SubnetMask entry for the interface.

This entry is added to the registry when you use Network Connections in Control Panel to configure TCP/IP.
