What sort of fancy configs do you have going on? What do you need to change in the network settings? Why aren't you using DHCP options? You need a static Window

I just don't get why you need to fuck with the networking on a device that is almost 100% getting DHCP. If you feel the need to mess with the network settings in Windows, you're kind of doing it wrong.
If you're going to have the l33t M$ sucks attitude, learn to set up your network properly and it's not an issue.
- worthless-trash 2y agoThis is not the way.
- SomeCollegeBro 2y agoThere's plenty of valid reasons to configure a static IP address, I'd say I do it weekly. Configuring a commonly used machine to be static for ease of use. Connecting a TCP communication device (barcode reader, RFID reader, etc.) direct to your computer for testing. Just as a couple examples.
- bongodongobob 2y agoYeah and you can still make a static IP with Windows 11. This is bullshit M$ whining. Shit changes. Explain to me why Debian fucking around with "ip" is less destructive.
- legends2k 2y agoClassic "I've a nail so everyone will have nails and all they need is a hammer" attitude. Not everyone will use DHCP. Static IP is a thing for a reason. I use it on servers, Wi-Fi printers (for mobiles to immediately pick them up), IP packet logging/bucketizing based on client, etc. There's a lot of spheres in computing other than the end-user one which is just the final tip of the iceberg.
- bongodongobob 2y agoYeah I use it on servers and printers as well. Almost never on workstations.
