Solution #1 - via the GUI

In Settings | Connections go to Configure Network adapters.

Set the 'Remote-NDIS Host' settings to use a specific IP address of 169.254.2.1, subnet 255.255.0.0, and a default gateway of 169.254.2.2

Solution #2 - via Editing the Registry

Fire up your registry editor then head to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp]

Set AutoCfg to 1

Set EnableDHCP to 0

Soft reset the device to activate the change

• Click: Start->Settings->Connections tab->Network Card.
• Make sure the "My network card connects to" is set correctly.
• Click the Remote-NDIS Host and make the following settings:
• Check "Use specific IP address"
• Set IP address=169.254.2.1, Subnet mask=255.255.0.0, Default Gateway=169.254.2.2
• Click OK.

To fix the error:

Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings.

Fire up your registry editor then head to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp]


Set AutoCfg to 1

Set EnableDHCP to 0

Soft reset the device and there should be no further errors!
