Replying to After Adding An Ip Address To The Ip Address Table, It Won't Stop Acquiring Network Address

What happens if you type "ipconfig /realease" in a command prompt window?

It says "The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation.

You can currently disable the IPv6 feature on your PC. The DNS's and gateways are in charge of this, you don't need an IPv6 setting as long as you have no IPv6 address on a private network inside your home.

Ok, I disabled IPv6 for my adapter, although it continues on trying to acquire network address (even after I tried repairing it), and the ipconfig report for my ethernet adapter still reports a set of IP address and subnet values at 0.0.0.0.

Is there any point to using IPv6 in a home network, let alone any LAN network? I suppose I might as well disable it.

One program was adding a phantom/ghost NIC card, do you happen to have a virtual pc installed or a virtual system? If yes then disable its adapter, if no, the fix generated a phamtom adapter to bypass the private IP.

There is a configuration in the HL/Steam server about an outside IP though it depends on what patches or version of modules you have. All Steam servers have an outside and private IP configuration. The private IP is the one you won't bother touching.

Please NOTE that the last time I setup/manage such server is 2 years back using Steam Dedicated Server/Condition Zero server.

Also a point to remember, if you have both IP v4 and IP v6 enabled and you have values on both protocol, you will appear as if you have 2 NIC cards. If the values points to the same physical address, they will only appear as one.

Anyone have any more ideas?

Do you mean that "ipconfig" shows your Ethernet adapter twice ?

Umm... no :\ I copied and pasted the only ethernet adapter I have, as well as all information regarding it.

Or maybe you also added a client DHCP program, which ignores your static configuration?

Doubt it, my ip remains 192.168.1.10 on the local network.

Nope... it's ethernet. My router, which it's connected to, does have a functioning DHCP service, although both IPs that I have assigned to this NIC are static.

Do you mean that "ipconfig" shows your Ethernet adapter twice ? Once with a fixed address and also with the 0.0.0.0 address?
This looks like a phantom adapter; make a backup of your "today" working OS, and then look what happens if you disable the phantom adapter.

So, your Ethernet adapter has a 0.0.0.0 IP address? Are you connected through wifi?
Looks that your NIC card has a cable which is connected to something which does not have an active DHCP service able to provide an IP address.

@zenia: Traffic is still flowing through the router. I think the only purpose of entering my outside IP into the NIC's configuration is so that specific program can properly broadcast my IP. If people can hack me from that server just because of this new configuration, then I think there's a larger problem
