Does anyone know how to force windows 7 to accept a static IP address of 0.1.0.200 with a subnet of 255.0.0.0 and a gateway of 0.1.0.0
Any help would be a job saver :)

Perhaps by editing the hosts file in system32\drivers\etc ?

Tell this things to router, router tells it to your Windows machine.

Sure, write your own IP stack.
The network number may not be 0 (except for initialization).

WTF are you doing that you want to assign an invalid network address for?
Unless you are doing some mess with routing over the internet, you should never deviate from the predefined private address spaces. You will run into major problems eventually if you use public address spaces on your intranet.

Connecting a windows 7 box to take serial back up connections from a Xenix based Server. The Xenix server is 0.1.0.0 and needs to be this way to control a set of xenix computers running on 0.1.0.1, 0.1.0.2 and so on...

If you use subnet 255.255.0.0 that would fix one problem. The other can be fixed by changing the server address to something that is any value of 0.1.xxx.xxx except 0.1.0.0. All zeroes is the address of the subnet for routing purposes.
Technically speaking, if you aren't connected to any other subnets or the Internet (thus have no router, or at least no need of any routing) there's no reason you couldn't use invalid or already assigned public IP addresses, provided all hosts are on the same subnet and there are no clashes. But modern OSs do have these networking conventions built into them (ie. with all zeroes being the subnet's routing address and all 1s being the broadcast address for all hosts on the subnet). I know of no utility to override and force Win7 to adopt invalid network details. |

Can you change the Xenix server IP?

No the software we are running was writen before tcp/ip had even started breastfeeding. I have to keep the server 0.1.0.0
I used to be able to change the ip of a XP PC to 0.1.0.200 but something in Windows 7 prevents that as being a valid IP

Holy crap, Xenix? you must be one of Microsoft's first victims.
I doubt simply forcing Win7 into submission will make them talk.
Does that ancient stack even have an RFC? or any spec anywhere? or maybe you feel like RE'ing it. If so, go with my first suggestion. You don't even have to implement the full stack if you're just interested in certain data.
Otherwise use another connection, I dunno, did they have anything faster than serial those days?
I guess I'd also try actually contacting Microsoft.

Serial data transfer has been my method of operation up to now with Win 7... I have tcp/ip working fully on Xenix, its the client computers running Xenix which are hard coded to the IP which is why there is no changing the server IP.
Microsoft does not own, support or have claim to Xenix, they sold it to SCO a long time ago.

Rather than using the Windows 7 GUI to set the IP, you may be able to instead look into using netsh (windows command line network settings program) on Windows to achieve what you are trying to do.
I'm not sure on the specifics, though but if you look it up i'm sure you'd find a guide/whatever on how to set an IP using it.
