I have multiple campuses? (schools). On several systems I?ve set the IP Addresses to static. On one campus, I cannot set any addresses to static. I?ve tried several systems, none work.
I can ping whatever IP Address I want to use (ex: 10.44.80.80) prior to assigning it, getting a ?No Reply ?? meaning that no address is in use (you all know this stuff, I know, but…). Anyway, I assign the address, reboot the system ? takes forever to boot, then informs me that ?No Domain or Server is available?, do you want to continue logging into Windows? (or something as such). BUT before I power cycle the PC, I ping that address that I just assigned AND I do get a response. I?ve tried several different IP Addresses and several different PC?s, it just won’t work. I?ve asked our so-called Network Admin?s about it and they claim to not know what the prob is or how to correct it.
Any suggestions?
