Networking Basics
Assigning a Static IP Address
• 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
network must be within the 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.
The DNS server information will be provided by your ISP (Internet
Service Provider.)
• Click OK
You have completed the assignment of a Static IP Address. (You do not need
to assign a Static IP Address if you have a DHCP-capable Gateway/Router.)
