This feature allows the user to select the source of the IP address for this
computer. If Static is selected, you will need to know the IP address of this
computer and enter it to the system manually in the field. If DHCP is
selected, the BIOS will search for a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server in the network that is attached to and request the next
available IP address for this computer. Options include Static or DHCP.
The following items are assigned IP addresses automatically if DHCP is
selected.

value of each three-digit number separated by dots should not exceed 255.
