3. Under Interfaces, you should see several branches (as shown above).
    
4. Select the first and look for a DWORD key called EnableDHCP.

5. If it has a value of 1, double-click it and the following screen will appear.

6. Now, change the value to 0 and click OK. 

7. The EnableDHCP key should now show 0 as its value.

8. Repeat the steps above for all the other branches under Interfaces.
    
9. In addition to disabling DHCP in those branches, you should also disable DHCP in another couple of branches.
    
10. Go back to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services.
     
11. Examine the top branches under Services (those above Abiosdsk).
     
12. There should be at least two branches with {number-letter sequence} as its name.
     
13. Under those branches, look for a sub-branch called Tcpip (see below). 

14. You should see the same EnableDHCP key in the Tcpip branch.

15. Follow Steps 5 and 6 to change the value from 1 to 0.
     
16. The EnableDHCP key should now show 0 as its value.

17. Repeat this for each and every iteration of the {number-letter sequence} under the Services branch.
     
    Thanks to a tip by Karendar

• This tip will only work if you are using a connection that does not require DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
   
• If you are using Automatic IP or DNS configuration, then you are using DHCP and should not disable DHCP.

If you have a comment or question about this tip, please post them here.

Thanks for your time and I hope this tip has helped you some! :)
