Statically Assign an IP address 
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP 
address, please follow the steps below: 
 
  Click on the Windows Start button and navigate to the Control Panel > 
Network and Sharing Center and click on the Change Adapter Settings 
option on the left panel. 
  Right-click on the Local Area Connection, which represents your network 
adapter, and selects Properties. 
  Select the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) option and click on the 
Properties button. 
  Select Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the 
same subnet as your router. For example: If your router is running on the IP 
address of 192.168.1.1, use any IP address from 192.168.1.2 to 
192.168.69.254. Use the Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. Set Default 
Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router. Set Preferred DNS 
server IP address the same as the LAN IP address of your router. The 
Secondary DNS is not needed at this stage.  
  Click the OK button twice to return to the Network Connections window.
