Assigning a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000
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:
(The following illustrations are shown using Windows XP, other Operating Systems will be similar.)
• Go to Start
• Double-click on
