DisplayLink Static IP Issues
I never found an easy fix for this issue. My fix was painful. I had to reinstall the OS and start over. Things have been good since then up until now. I started having issues with my DisplayLink USB Monitor for some unknown reason. I started getting a message that my DisplayLink Driver wasn't compatible and needed to be updated after it had been working fine for about a year. After I reinstalled the latest DisplayLink Driver the USB monitor started working again, but if I assign a static IP address and exit out of the network adapter setup, when I go back in it is back to DHCP all by itself.
This causes major problems for me as this is a Dell Precision work laptop and I connect to industrial machines and equipment every day that require me to use a static IP assignment. This problem is not only with the Dell USB 3.0 Docking station I use in the office, I also see the same issue with my USB to Ethernet adapters. I sure wish I had an easier way to fix this.
If anyone has found a better fix please let me know. Thank you.
