Configuring Windows
for a static IP address
The instructions for configuring a Windows Vista, XP, 2000, Me,
or 98SE system with a static IP address vary slightly. Find the
appropriate instructions for your system and follow them.
You manually enter the following information to configure your
operating system’s settings:

Make sure the address does not conflict with any other
computer connected to the terminal. You can obtain the entire
list of available addresses for use with your terminal from the
Frequently Asked Questions section of the System Control
Center.
• Subnet Mask. This is the subnet mask assigned to your

Note: You must complete the appropriate instructions for each
computer or device that accesses the Internet over the LAN.
Note: Home networking equipment is required but not included.
For network setup, support and configuration, contact your
network hardware manufacturer and/or operating system software
developer (Hughes is not responsible for home network
management or troubleshooting). Simultaneous use of high
bandwidth applications by multiple users may result in
