Can’t save IP settings error in Windows 10/11(Read 401 times)
Can’t save IP settings error in Windows 10/11 on: August 07, 2022, 10:00:13 AM
 This most common error is that you are naming the subnet straight out
(IE: 255.255.255.0) instead of the "equivalent prefix value" actually required ...

Method 1: Enter Subnet Prefix length instead of Subnet Mask.
Subnet Prefix length and Subnet Mask are actually different ways of specifying the same thing. That is, both specify the subnetting details of the IP address.

In the Edit IP settings window, when we have a clear look, the description asks us to enter Subnet prefix length, when we enter subnet mask instead of prefix length in this box, the error is seen.

Common Prefix Length equivalent of the subnet mask is given below
255.255.255.0 –> 24
255.0.0.0 –> 8
255.255.0.0 –> 16
For example, if the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is given, then enter 24, which is its equivalent prefix length.

I quoted the most common issue/cause of error when manually adjusting your IP settings above ...
There's more methods and examples listed here ...
BOOYA, MOTHERFUCKER!!!

I suppose I should repost the actual method of changing the IP ....
Quote
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi
Click on your network's SSID (the name of your Wi-Fi network e.g. Home Wifi)
Set the Network Profile to Private
Scroll down to IP Settings and click Edit
Change from Automatic (DHCP) to Manual
Toggle IPv4.
Run as Administrator Command Prompt
Type the following command ipconfig /all and hit enter
Scroll down to DHCP Server. Copy that number by highlighting it with your mouse and pressing Enter.
Back in the Settings window we opened in step 01, paste the number you copied from Command Prompt in the IP Address field. The number should look something like this after you paste it: 192.168.1.1
Delete the last digit, in my example in step 10, it's the red 1.
Type any number of your choosing between 5-30
In the Subnet Prefix Length field, paste this exact number: 255.255.255.0
In the Gateway field, paste the exact number you copied in step 10. In my example, it's 192.168.1.1
In Preferred DNS field, paste this number: 8.8.8.8
In Alternate DNS field, paste this number: 8.8.4.4
Click Save.
BOOYA, MOTHERFUCKER!!!
