1. I need to set a static IP address on a PC.
The Gateway, by default, assigns an IP address range of 192.168.100.10 to
192.168.100.41 using the DHCP server on the Gateway. To set a static IP
address, you can only use the ranges 192.168.100.2 to 192.168.100.9 and
192.168.100.42 to 192.168.100.254. Each PC or network device that uses
TCP/IP must have a unique address to identify itself in a network. If the IP
address is not unique to a network, Windows will generate IP conflict error
message. You can assign a static IP address to a PC by performing the
following steps:
For Windows 95, 98, and Me:
A. Click Start, Settings, and Control Panel. Double-click Network.
B. In The following network components are installed box, select the
TCP/IP->associated with your Ethernet adapter. If you only have one
Ethernet adapter installed, you will only see one TCP/IP line with no
association to an Ethernet adapter. Highlight it and click the Properties
button.
C. In the TCP/IP properties window, select the IP address tab, and select
Specify an IP address. Enter a unique IP address that is not used by any
other computer on the network connected to the Gateway. You can only
use an IP address in the ranges 192.168.100.2 to 192.168.100.9 and
192.168.100.42 to 192.168.100.254. Make sure that each IP address is
unique for each PC or network device.
D. Click the Gateway tab, and in the New Gateway prompt, enter
192.168.100.1, which is the default IP address of the Gateway. Click the
Add button to accept the entry.
E. Click the DNS tab, and make sure the DNS Enabled option is selected.
