KnotHead 0 Posted October 20, 2000 Is there any way to disable this error message in Windows 2000? When I disconnect my laptop from my desktop, this message drives me crazy! It pops up all the time! Thanks! KnotHead Share this post Link to post

KnotHead 0 Posted October 20, 2000 Yeah, that does turn it off but then it messes up my proxy settings. Since I have my network card set to 90.0.0.1 and if I disable it, it defaults to 127.0.0.1 and then I have to reset Winproxy, and my other programs to use 127.0.0.1. So, when I hook up my laptop again, I have to reset proxy settings for my programs back to 90.0.0.1, since the laptop is set to 90.0.0.1. I hope you get the picture. <G> I should have made this clear before, but had trouble posting and wrote the short version. Share this post Link to post
Hairball 0 Posted October 21, 2000 Specify your own IP address (and other addresses) instead of having Windows make one for you. Share this post Link to post
KnotHead 0 Posted October 21, 2000 Ok, I have it listed under Local Area Connection Properties / TCP/IP and I have it set to 90.0.0.1 under the IP Address. This is the address that I specified and Winproxy recognizes it when I boot. But as soon as I disable the network card, winproxy goes back to the Windows default of 127.0.0.1 even though it's setup as 90.0.0.1. Is there somewhere else that I can put it so that Windows and Winproxy will detect it when the network card is disabled? I put it also in the LMHOSTS file and told it to use it and it still didn't work once I disabled the network card. Share this post Link to post
