If you are unable to save your IP settings, there could be a few reasons for this issue. Let’s go through the steps to troubleshoot and fix the problem.
First, open the Network and Sharing Center on your computer. You can do this by either clicking on the network icon in the taskbar and selecting “Open Network & Internet settings,” or by searching for “Network and Sharing Center” in the Start menu.
Once you are in the Network and Sharing Center, click on “Change adapter settings” in the left-hand sidebar. This will display a list of all your network connections.
Identify your Ethernet connection and right-click on it. Select “Properties” from the context menu that appears. This will open the Properties window for your Ethernet connection.
In the Properties window, you should see a list of items with checkboxes next to them. Look for an entry that says “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and select it. Then, click on the “Properties” button below.
A new window will open, showing the properties for Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Here, you will have the option to either obtain an IP address automatically or use a specific IP address. Select the second option, which says “Use the following IP address.”
Now, you will need to manually enter the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server information. The IP address is a unique address that identifies your device on the network. The Subnet Mask determines the range of IP addresses that can communicate with your device. The Default Gateway is the IP address of your router or network gateway, which allows your device to connect to other networks. The DNS Server translates domain names into IP addresses.
If you are not sure what values to enter, you can contact your network administrator or Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance. They should be able to provide you with the correct IP settings for your network.
Once you have entered the IP settings, click “OK” to save the changes. If you encounter any error messages or are unable to save the settings, double-check the values you entered and make sure they are correct.
If you are still unable to save the IP settings, it is possible that there may be a problem with your network adapter or network configuration. In such cases, it may be necessary to troubleshoot the issue further or seek technical support.
If you cannot save your IP settings, you can try changing the settings manually by accessing the Properties of your Ethernet connection. Ensure that you have the correct IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server values provided by your network administrator or ISP. If the issue persists, further troubleshooting or assistance may be required.
