![]() ![]() I used the old Control Panel method to set things because the Settings Panel method will reject a static assignment with the error "Can't save IP settings. ![]() ![]() While digging around, I noticed that the Settings Panel status page for the interface was showing "IP assignment" as DHCP and not Manual, even though I had it set manually in the IPv4 properties page in the Control Panel adapter settings. Normally, Windows kicks off a wizard to set that up when it discovers a new network, but it wasn't doing that for me. What I really wanted to do was create a new network profile, but I never found a way to do so using the Settings Panel, netsh, secpol.msc, or the like. I tried the PowerShell Set-NetConnectionProfile option (can also be done using secpol.msc on 10 Pro) to set the network profile to private, but there were two problems: one, it did not persist after a reboot and two, it creates a security issue if you ever connect to an unidentified public network. There was no option to change the public/private value in the Settings Panel for the interface. After assigning a static IP address to the interface via the Control Panel, Windows assigned the interface to the "Unidentified network" profile, which is treated as a public network by default. I ran into this same problem today when using an Ethernet crossover cable to connect two Windows 10 PCs. ![]()
