Do anybody know how to disable APIPA in Windows Vista?

Registry modification which worked on Windows XP has no effect on Vista. I tried to add DWORD value IPAutoconfigurationEnabled = 0 to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\. But ipconfig /all still shows Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes.

You probably didn't restart the computer or the tcpip service

Off course I restarted computer...

The problem seems to be more complex. See this thread http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPo...8&SiteID=17.

If anybody know how to turn off apipa on Vista, please respond.

You are making the classic mistake thinking that if you experience a problem, then everyone must be experiencing the same problem - they're not. In that url you posted i only saw 1 other person than you experiencing this issue - the msft guy in that url didnt confirm it was a known issue. Like the msft guy said it might be a problem with your environment.
