I have a dell computer running windows ME on the first partition. I installed windows 2000 server on the second partition. my computer is stand-alone. after the installation, all the devices were successfully detected and properly configured. I also defined a static IP address (192.168.1.1 sm : 255.255.255.0). when i tried running ipconfig, it shows &quot;Media state : Cable disconnected&quot; . ipconfig /all shows ip address 0.0.0.0<br />
i checked and verified the NIC is working fine. i even updated the drivers but to no avail. what is the problem ? as far as i know static ip address can be defined even if the computer is not networked. I NEED YOUR HELP BADLY!!!!!!!!

Ipconfig may not show correct ip configuration

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
