1 PC not using router assigned IP
I have a Trendnet TEW-827DRU router. I set up assigned IP addresses for most of my Ethernet connected devices (Desktop PCs, Home Entertainment Devices, TVs) on the router designated by MAC address.
One Desktop PC is not using it's assigned IP. I want to fix that.
My first idea was to do an ipconfig/release and the an ipconfig/renew, but when I attempt this I get this message:
"No Operation Can Be Performed on Ethernet While It Has It's Media Disconnected"
This comes up twice: Once for the word Ethernet above, and again with Ethernet2.
This PC has 4 Adapters showing. The physical LAN adapter (enabled), plus a VM adapter (enabled), and two virtual adapters for my VPN (both disabled). Could this be what is being referred to as "Media Disconnected"?
Any other ideas on how to force it to use the assigned IP?
