WIFI and LAN profile with same IP causes incorrect settings

Hi,

I have a WIFI and a LAN profile (which are not active at the same time) which both set the same IPv4 Address (needs to be, so the local server always has the same address).

when switching to the latter profile, the IP is set to 169.254.xxx.xxx instead of the set address BUT no error is displayed! If I change it to be unique across all adapters, it works fine.

1. if the IP cannot be applied, it should not show SUCCESS
2. I'd prefer to deactivate the wireless NIC on switching to this profile, so I can use the same IP address

Is this possible?

regards, Tilli

ah - the WIFI adapter has been switched off (by hardware switch on the notebook) before activating this profile - so I'm not sure why I can't apply the same IP on a different NIC.

I'm afraid I didn't fully understand your problem. Could you please support your request by posting some screenshots with the settings in the profile and the result that you've found? I don't really understand how a different IP might've been set instead of the configured one.
You can deactivate any adapter you like by using the "Adapter: Deactivate" option. You can combine different adapters in one profile by using the MultiProfile option (see help file for more information).

hi,

it doesn't really get a "differnt" IP set, but none at all (so windows assigns it's default IP address-space, just as if DHCP never answered). I will try to get some screenshots (it's on a different machine).

thanks for your hint, though! Will try that.
