We have a server that is set to a static IP address. &nbsp;If you go into ipconfig the address shows up correctly as well as in Server Manager. &nbsp;However if you go into the adapter settings, the main IP in the general tab of the IPv4 settings is set to 0.0.0.0. with a subnet of 0.0.0.0. &nbsp;If you then drill into the advanced tab, two IP addresses show up - 0.0.0.0, and the valid one. &nbsp;IF you click on the zero entry and remove it, it clears it. &nbsp;IF you close out of there and go all the way back in, the 0.0.0.0.0 entry comes back.<br />

Any ideas how it got there, how to remove it, and what might be bringing it back?

An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints. Examples of properties typical of embedded computers when compared with general-purpose ones are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost. Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers; the processor(s) used may be types ranging from general purpose to those specialised in certain class of computations, or even custom designed for the application at hand. A common standard class of dedicated processors is the digital signal processor (DSP).
