Caution: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require that you reinstall your operating system. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
The adapter may revert to a DHCP-assigned IP address, or have no IP address at all following a reboot, even though an IP address was manually or statically assigned prior to the reboot.
