NI System Web Server service messing up IP Configuration default gateway

[Tebbe]

My computer has been unable to access the internet and I traced it back to the NI System Web Server service inserting a default gateway of 0.0.0.0 into the Windows IP Configuration. If I disable the service in msconfig then clear the gateway and renew the ip address with the following commands 

route delete 0.0.0.0
ipconfig /renew 

 my connection works correctly. Reenabling the Web Server service results in 0.0.0.0 being inserted on the next reboot, breaking my internet connection.

Does anyone know of a permanent fix besides disabling the service?

Hi,

This is known issue and according to a KB from Microsoft it stems from Apple’s Bonjour service running on computers with Windows Vista or later.This issue is exposed by mDNS Responder Service, which is included in many NI drivers such as DAQmx, VISA, and IMAQ. mDNSResponder is a Bonjour system service that implements Multicast DNS Service Discovery for discovery of services on the local network. 

NI-VISA 5.0.2 contains a fix in mDNS Responder Service that resolves this issue. See (KB 54K8H3ON) for more details.

Thanks Sev. I found the Microsoft KB article, but I guess I didn't use the right search terms on the NI site to find the mDNS article.
