SYMPTOMS
When you change the way your computer receives an Internet Protocol (IP) address, from use of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to use of a static IP address, and you make this change while your network adapter is disconnected, the IP address after you reconnect the network adapter is 0.0.0.0.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, disable and then re-enable the network adapter in the Network And Dial-up Connections folder.
