Assigning a Static IP Address
Note: Residential Gateways/Broadband Routers will automatically assign IP
Addresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) technology. 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:
