My question is about the error inside my Ethernet Adapter inside the Ipv4 protocol.
I screwed things up inside the registers, I guess.
How to fix it that it never gives it a static IP address again?
It now always changes to 192.168.25.1
, because I set it up like that in the past.

1Please clarify (edit) your question. The title says the opposite of the text of the question. I can't tell from this if you want to put it back to automatic or if you want to fix the incomplete static configuration.– TonnyNov 8, 2018 at 9:25

If you don't want a static IP address why don't you choose the "automatically assign" an address option?– I say Reinstate MonicaNov 8, 2018 at 10:53

I don't know what you changed in the registry, but you can try this and it will hopefully be of some help.
First open the run box by hitting Windows key + R
and then type regedit
to open the registry.
Then navigate to the correct network adapter by going to the registry location MyComputer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
Each network adapter will have a different hex subkey that looks like this. Registry hex subkeys
From this point on, I don't know what DWORDS and string values you have.
Check to see if you have a DWORD (blue icons) that is called EnableDHCP
. If you do, check and make sure that the hex value is 1
. If it has a value 0
, change it to 1
and restart your PC.
You could also put a screenshot of what your registry values look like for the network interface. It may make it easier to see what is wrong.
