The following procedure to edit the Windows Registry should help you disable the Media Sensing feature.

1. Click Start - Search and type “regedit” [In Windows XP/2003, Click Start - RUN and type "regedit"]. This launches the WIndows Registry.

2. In the registry, navigate to the following registry key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
