DHCP media sensing needed?

[AdSalusNonAptus]

My current Setup consists of one "gateway" which is connected to the internet through a DSL dialup connection and one client. Their NICs are directly connected with a crossover cable (NO hub).
This way, Windows always complains if the client is switched off.
Can I deactivate DHCP media sensing with

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]

"DisableDHCPMediaSense"=dword:00000001


without affecting any Wingate functions or breaking anything else in my system?
The used Wingate version is 6.0.4 -
OS is Windows XP SP1, and the Value
"DisableDHCPMediaSense" is not existant in the registry.

Hi,

This article http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Disable-Media-Sense-TCPIP-Windows-XP.html gives a run down on adding the entry.

All reservations about editing a system's registry apply.

Report back how it goes!
