Assigning a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000
Note: Residential Gateways/Broadband Routers will automatically assign IP Addresses to
the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) technol-

Addresses.
If you are not using a DHCP capable Gateway/Router, or you need to assign a Static
IP Address, please follow these instructions:
Go to Start.
