Cannot Change IP address DICOM Settings

  • Hi All,


    We moved a client from a local server to the cloud. In doing so, the IP address of their server has changed. When we update the IP address in the DICOM settings, it will stick and then when we reboot the computer, it reverts the whole dicom.txt file in the C drive back to a file from 2017. I have done as much basic troubleshooting I can think of, we do not have an issue on the servers changing the IP information.

  • Hey hi, you can try changing the permissions of the DICOM setting file to prevent it from being overwritten. Right-click on the dicom.txt file, go to Properties, and adjust the permission to make it read-only. This should prevent the file from reverting to older version after a reboot. Make sure to backup the file before making any changes.

  • Ensure that the account used to modify the dicom.txt file has the necessary permissions to make changes and that these changes are not being overridden by a user with higher privileges. Some organizations have system policies that restore certain files to maintain consistency. Check if there’s a policy that might be reverting the dicom.txt file. The file might be corrupted. Try creating a new dicom.txt file with the updated settings and replace the old one. Some DICOM software has its own configuration management that might override manual changes. Check the software’s documentation for proper procedures to change IP settings. If the system is automatically restoring files, it might be due to Windows System Restore. You can try disabling it to see if it resolves the issue. Indigo card benefits
