Use Registry Editor to create the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Add the following value to this key:
Value name: IPAutoconfigurationEnabled Value type: REG_DWORD Value in hexadecimal: 0 (A value of 0 disables APIPA support on this computer)
NOTE: If the IPAutoconfigurationEnabled entry is not present, a default value of 1 is assumed, which indicates that APIPA is enabled.
After you make this change, restart your computer.
If routing is still not functioning properly, you may have to repair the connection:
1. Right-click the LAN connection icon in Network Connections, and then click Status.
2. Click the Support tab, click the Repair button.
