Assigning a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000
Note: Gateways/routers usually assign IP addresses automatically to the comput-
ers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) technol-
ogy. 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 address, please follow these instructions:
Go to Start.
Double-click on
Control Panel.
