This is NOT possible, again I say NOT possible, with one NIC. If you were using all static, you could. BUT, with DHCP enabled, you do not have the option of configuring additional IP addresses.
A program I made in Visual Basic. Basically it just asks the DHCP server all the addresses (IP address, subnet mask, DNS servers, etc.) and sets them statically (along with the really static IP address ).kcnychief said:What program did you end up using?
You don't seem to need more than one IP address on the same NIC; just only one at a time. You basically want to have different profiles (or something like that) so that you can change the configuration quickly and easily. This is not what I needed.X-Istence said:Windows seems to make it pretty damn hard to add more IP addresses to the same NIC.
On my Mac, I can set up alternate configurations, and select between them, like at school I want to use DHCP, but at home I prefer to use my own static IP.
So essentially, your not using DHCP and Static IP - you are using two seperate static IP'spguerra said:A program I made in Visual Basic.

Hmmmm... that's a philosophic matter. Technically I'm using two static IP addresses. But since one of them is obtained by a DHCP server, you can say it's dynamic. Or not? I don't know!kcnychief said:So essentially, your not using DHCP and Static IP - you are using two seperate static IP's
