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:
Go to Start.
Double-click on
Control Panel.
