What is an Alternate IP Config
It's for when the PC can't contact a DHCP server (it will get a 169.x.x.x
IP) and needs an IP address (on the LAN subnet) to make it visible to the
LAN.

Hi-
The alternate IP Config is for users who move their workstations between 2 networks. Their default IP config can be set to DHCP for their home network and the Alternate IP info can be filled in with static info for a different network.

An Alternate IP configuration can be supplied for XP and 2003 systems.
This gives you the ability to specifiy what IP address the system will use
"IF" a DHCP Server is unavailable. Normally we use APIPA, you the famous
169.254.x.x address you get when a DHCP client doesn't get an address from
a DHCP server. Before XP and 2003 that was the only address you could get,
now you specify what address the client will have if the DHCP server does
not respond.
Note that option is only available in the TCPIP properties when a client is
set to use DHCP.
Thank you,
