Assigning a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000

Note: Many 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 router you will not need to
assign static IP addresses.

If you are not using a DHCP capable router, or you need to assign a static IP address,
please follow these instructions:

Go to Start.

Click on Control Panel.
