I might put this into the feedback forum on MS and see what they say. If one is DHCP windows doesn't bother to use the second one which makes absolutely no sense at all!! Windows can use two ip addresses as evidenced by the fact i can type two statically assigned addresses in and everything works fine. If i type the information in to the configuration i want it and i want to use it. Open the Run Window(Press and Hold the Windows and R key Simultaneously), type ncpa.cpl in the empty field, and press enter. What possible reason is there for windows 10 to remove the static second config if you get DHCP. You can follow this guide to check the Network Settings, and obtain the IP address and DNS automatically to correct the Ethernet doesn’t have a valid IP configuration failure. They use either two NICs or two static IPs. I do have some machines that bridge two different networks running on the same LAN. So you can't get the DHCP and then use (for example) netsh to add a second static IP. So, no, you can't "set" that combination.Īdding a static IP to the config wipes off the DHCP.

In Windows 7, you can set the NIC to DHCP and use the "Alternative configuration" to set a fixed IP if DHCP is not available.īut, you still get only one or the other.
