in Windows XP/2000
Click Internet Protocol

Click Properties
Select Use the following
IP Address in the
Internet Protocol (TCP/
IP)Properties window.
Input your IP Address
and subnet mask. (The
IP Addresses on your

same range. For example,
if one computer has an IP
Address of 192.168.0.2,
the other computers should
have IP Addresses that are
sequential, like 192.168.0.3
and 192.168.0.4. The
subnet mask must be the
same for all the computers
on the network.)
Input your DNS server
addresses. (Note: If you
are entering a DNS server,
you must enter the IP
Address of the Default
Gateway.)
The DNS server information will be supplied
by your ISP (Internet Service Provider.)
