You can do it - but it's not recommended in Windows 2000 because you lose the DCHP release/renew functionality (which saves a reboot when you make an ip address change). If thats not an issue, go to START/RUN, then type: regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
On the Edit menu, Add Value name DisableDHCPMediaSense, as a REG_DWORD. Setting the data value to 1 causes DHCP clients to ignore "Media Sense" events.
Reboot.
Hope that helps
