are you saying that you are setting a static address, and on reboot it is changing to a DHCP address?, or that the static address is changing?

Hi thank you for the post. It's a static address and on reboot the ip and subnet mask are blank . Gateway and dns doesn't disappear.

from an elevated command prompt can you run the below<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-36477812-1">netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt</code></pre>
<br />
and then post the resetlog.txt as an attachment

could you advise the IP/subnet mask you are using please?<br />
do any errors warnings appear i the event log around the time you set the IP or when the server reboots?

On reboot My Dell Sever does not retain its static IP address and subnet mask. &nbsp;Even if I re-ip the unit and go back into the IP connection it does not have the IP address or subnet mask. <br />

I have tried the following: &nbsp;<br />
1. Win update <br />

Server 2008 r2 (DNS &amp; DHCP Server) IP address will not stay static

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

DHCP

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
