A funny thing happen on a newly installed MS Windows 8. After setting the fixed IP on the network interface (cable), it kept getting a an IANA ip of 196.254.x.x.
Although, the fixed IP was entered correctly, 10.x.x.x, the command ipconfig showed that it was still using the 196.254.x.x. Driving me mad, this don't happen on Linux as far as I know.
Resolve this by disabling the interface that is causing the problem.
At the command prompt as Admin follow the steps given below;
Step 1: Identify the interface name (Idx)
> netsh interface ipv4 show inter
Step 2: Disable the interface, replaceing the XXX below with the Idx found in Step 1.
> netsh interface ipv4 set interface XXX dadtransmit=0 store=persistent
