Assigning a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000
Note: Residential gateways/broadband routers will automatically assign IP ad-
dresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host Con-
figuration 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:
Go to Start.
Double-click
on Control
Panel.
