1. I need to set a static IP address on a PC.
The Router, by default, assigns an IP address range of 192.168.1.100 to
192.168.1.149 using the DHCP server on the Router. To set a static IP address, you
can only use the ranges 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99 and 192.168.1.151 to
192.168.1.254. Each PC or network device that uses TCP/IP must have a unique
address to identify itself in a network. If the IP address is not unique to a network,
Windows will generate an IP conflict error message. You can assign a static IP
address to a PC by performing the following steps:
For Windows 98 SE and Me:
A. Click
Start
,
Settings
, and
Control Panel
. Double-click
Network
.
B. In
The following network components are installed
box, select the
TCP/IP->
associated with your Ethernet adapter. If you only have one Ethernet adapter
installed, you will only see one TCP/IP line with no association to an Ethernet
adapter. Highlight it and click the
Properties
button.
C. In the
TCP/IP properties
window, select the
IP address
tab, and select
Specify
an IP address
. Enter a unique
IP address
that is not used by any other com-
puter on the network connected to the Router. You can only use an IP address
in the ranges 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99 and 192.168.1.151 to
192.168.1.254. Make sure that each IP address is unique for each PC or net-
work device.
D. Click the
Gateway
tab, and in the
New Gateway
prompt, enter
192.168.1.1
,
which is the default IP address of the Router. Click the
Add
button to accept
the entry.
E. Click the
DNS
tab, and make sure the
DNS Enabled
option is selected. Enter
the
Host
and
Domain
names (e.g., John for Host and home for Domain).
Enter the
DNS entry
provided by your ISP. If your ISP has not provided the
DNS IP address, contact your ISP to get that information or go to its website
for the information.
F. Click the
OK
button in the
TCP/IP properties
window, and click
Close
or the
OK
button for the Network window.
