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. (Note: If you are entering a DNS server address, you must enter the
IP Address of the Default Gateway.)
• Click OK
The DNS server information will be provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider.)
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.)
