On the General tab (for a local area connection) or the Networking tab (for all other connections), click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
Click Use the following IP address, and do one of the following:
For a local area connection, in IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway, type the IP address (http://ip%20address/) IP address
For Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), a 32-bit address used to identify a node on an IPv4 internetwork. Each node on the IP internetwork must be assigned a unique IPv4 address, which is made up of the network ID, plus a unique host ID. This address is typically represented with the decimal value of each octet separated by a period (for example, 192.168.7.27). You can configure the IP address statically or dynamically by using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). For Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), an identifier that is assigned at the IPv6 layer to an interface or set of interfaces and that can be used as the source or destination of IPv6 packets.


, subnet mask, and default gateway addresses.
