Static IP Addressing for Peer-to-Peer networks
In networks with Static IP addressing, the network
administrator manually assigns an IP address to each
computer. Once a Static IP address is assigned, a computer
uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to
the network, unless you manually change the IP address in
the
Network Properties dialog box. Networks using Static IP
addresses are easy to set up and do not require additional
network management software.
A Peer-to-Peer network environment is best suited for
Static IP
addressing
, because of its simplicity.
Peer-to-Peer networks are also not likely to have a DHCP
server already set up on the network.

wireless networks that do not have a DHCP server
