Registry: Where's the IP Address key

[CodeDeficitDisorder]

Where can I find the Registry Key that displays the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Settings?

THANKS!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\{505D11BF-6f50-4B62-AA01-923BBrF60042}\Parameters\Tcpip MCSE NT4 MCSA 2000/XP CCNA CCDA

SuperJon,
Before you start touting your mad certs, learn yo stuff.

CDD, SuperJon was *mostly* correct. That unique string in curly braces is unique to the network adapter in your machine. In SJ's machine, I'm sure that registry key is correct, but note that it may be different for you machine. The subkeys should be there regardless, though (Parameters\TCPIP).

The numbers may be different but there shouldn't be that many keys with an alpha/number key in -HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services
and under the alpha/number key you should find - Parameters\TCPIP

I do not userstand why IPCONFIG /all is not sufficient to discover this information, or right-click your connection icon on the notification try, Status, Support, Details.

It can also of course be viewed under the adapter's TCP/IP properties.

it is not enough because if you installed one card, removed it and installed another, giving it the same IP address settings as the first one, it will give you a message saying that the IP is already assigned to the first card.
It's called a ghost device in XP. I guess by going into the registry, you can delete all records of the first card and therefore have a virgin network card install.
