Here's how to Automatically detect LAN Settings in Windows.

i. LAN settings in Windows refers to the network configuration settings for your Local Area Network (LAN) or ethernet connection. It allows you to customize IP address information and other parameters.

Some key things you can configure in LAN Settings:

- IP Address - The unique address that identifies your computer on the local network.

- Subnet Mask - Defines the subnet your computer is on.

- Default Gateway - The IP address of the router that connects your LAN to other networks.

- DNS Servers - The DNS servers used to resolve domain names into IP addresses.

- Alternate Configuration - Allows switching between static and dynamic IP addressing.

- Automatic Metric - Determines connection priority if multiple LAN adapters are present.

- Interface Metric - Metric number that represents the cost of using that interface.

By modifying these settings, you can change how your Windows computer interacts with devices on the same LAN. For example, giving your computer a static IP or using specific DNS servers.

The LAN settings are found in the Network Connections panel of Windows settings or Control Panel. Caution should be used when changing these settings to avoid network issues.
