Assigning an IP Address for Windows 95 and 
Windows 98 (First Release)
If your network is connected to the Internet, ask your Internet provider or system 
administrator for a formal IP address. 
If your network is not connected to the Internet, you can use an IP address in the 
following ranges: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, or 
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. Make sure you use a different IP address for every 
computer on your network.
If you use IP addresses in the ranges listed above, you may need to 
change them before you connect the network to the Internet. Check with 
your network administrator.
Windows 98 (Second Edition) automatically assigns an IP address to itself 
(for the station it is installed on) if you are not connected to a DHCP server.
If your network uses a DHCP server, you don’t need to obtain an IP address 
before beginning this procedure—the server finds one for you.
