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:

IP Addresses on your
network must be within
the same range. For
example, if one computer
has an IP Address of
192.168.0.2, the other

192.168.0.3 and
192.168.0.4. The subnet
mask must be the same
for all the computers on
the network.)
