IP Addresses
When a machine pulls an IP address, where is it stored?
I mean, if you pull an IP and then disconnect your cable and do an ipconfig, you shouldn't have an IP anymore right?
Does the nearest router store that information, like the lease, etc. and send it to the machine upon booting?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters/Interfaces/{XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX}
Also try a search on: DhcpIPAddress
come back with 169.254.x.x (most of the time) , if not.. relase command will do the trick.
0.0.0.0 i think is when the system is hung on trying to find an IP.. correct me if i am wrong.. and windows doesnt generate its internal ip.
you beat me to it.. i thought NT in general looks for new ip, not just XP.
