Statically Assign an IP address

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:
Step 1
Windows® 7 - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
Windows Vista® - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network
Connections.
Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
Step 2
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select Properties.
Step 3
Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as
your network or the LAN IP address on your router.
Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.1.X
where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in
use on the network. Set the Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router
(I.E. 192.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Alternate
DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
Step 5
Click OK twice to save your settings.
