Common Problems and Solutions

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

192.168.1.150 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 and Millennium:

A.

Click

Start

,

Setting

, and

Control Panel

. Double-click

B.

In

The following network components are installed

box, select the

association to an Ethernet adapter.

Highlight it and click the

button.

C.

In the

TCP/IP properties

window, select the

IP address

tab, and select

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 network 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

E.

tab, and make sure the

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
