automatically assign an IP address

[Peter]

If there is no dhcp XP will automatically assign an IP address 169.x.x.x
Is there a way to disable that with an registry key

==================================
Pray tell why do you feel you need to do that?
If you do not want to use DHCP and you are
adverse to using an APIPA of 169.254.x.x -

Then just specify what IP Address you do want
to use, such as 192.168.0.x

to do this.

Don't know why you would want to, though.
