Android driver resets DNS on my Win7 host Few days ago I plugged my android (HTC1) phone to my Win7 machine which never had any network issues.

When I connected, I also made th following change:


  Mobile Hotspot &amp; tethering->USB network Setting->Internet pass through


Even when the phone is disconnected, from time to time, something (new) resets the DNS setting to my phone's IP address.  I reset with ipconfig /renew and it is fine for a while, but eventually flips back.


Update:

Ran wireshark on PC and it looks like the phone is sending DHCP ACKs and announcing itself as the router &amp; DNS server etc.

This can't be a feature, How am I supposed to stop it?
Workaround: I am pretty sure got fixed after I enabled and disabled "Mobile Hotspot"

So while I am answering my own question, I will accept any answer that describes how to disable this faulty behavior
