Hello everybody OK, I tried the suggestion which Roger pasted into his message following Dane's question. If I go to the device manager and right-click the network adapter whose properties I want to change, it gives me the hardware properties rather than the network configuration properties.
So, I tried doing it the easy way; go to Control Panel>Network and Sharing Center>Change Adapter Settings>Properties>IP4 Properties. This brings up a screen similar to the old Windows XP dialogue. However, when I try to change the IP4 properties to reflect the need for a static IP and DNS configuration, I get silly networking errors even though the configuration is absolutely correct. Of course, this works fine when I test it on a virtual Windows XP machine; so I know for a fact that the IP4 configuration is valid. Does anybody else happen to have run into a situation similar to the above? It's really silly; and I'm guessing that it's a problem with Windows 7 itself rather than with the IP4 configuration data which, as I've already stated, is perfectly valid.
