Stoopid Windows Filesharing Fails after setting Static IP

I changed my network settings to use a static IP and was no longer able to access my samba shares. My "Node Type" reported from ipconfig showed "Unknown".

I added a registry DWord called EnableProxy as detailed here:

After rebooting I can now access the samba shares, but the node type is still "Unknown". How stupid.
