Assigning a static ip address

Assigning a static IP
Address
In a home network with several computers and devices, it
is ideal to assign each of them a specific address. This is
for the purpose of avoiding problems when you do
troubleshooting which requires figuring out the IP address
of each of them. It is also a means to prevent address
conflicts between the devices. You can also manage them
with ease if you have assigned their own addresses.
Here are the procedures in assigning an IP Address on a
windows base computer system:
1. Open the Control Panel’s Network Connections icon.
2. Open the icon representing your computer’s network
connection.
3. Click the Properties button in the Status dialog box.
4. From the list of items, choose Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP).
5. Click the Properties button. The Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) Properties dialog box appears.

6) Type the IP address for your computer.
Enter the appropriate IP Address in the
IP address section.
7) Type a subnet mask. The value used on a
local network is
commonly 255.255.255.0, but it can be
different, such as 255.255.255.127.
8) Type the default gateway address. The
default gateway is the router, so type the
router’s address. Figure 54 shows an
example of assigning an IP Address,
Subnet mask and default gateway.
9) Type the address for the
preferred DNS server. The address
should be obtained from your Internet
Service Protocol. It is used to help your
computer find web pages and other
addresses on the internet.
10. Type the address for the alternate DNS
server.The alternate Domain Name
System (DNS) server’s IP address is
something that your ISP provides.
11) Click OK to confirm the settings.
12) Close all other open dialog boxes and
windows.
