IP Addresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) technology. If you are using a DHCP-capable Gateway/
Router you will not need to assign Static IP Addresses.
If you are not using a DHCP capable Gateway/Router, or you need to assign a Static
IP A ddress, please follow these instructions:
Go to Start.
Double-click on
Control Panel.
