Configuring A DHCP Server Static IP Address
Configuring A DHCP Server Static IP Address
aspx
For certain types of servers, you must assign a static IP address and subnet mask during or after Setup. These servers
include DHCP servers, DNS servers, WINS servers, and any server providing access to users on the Internet. It is also
recommended that you assign a static IP address and subnet mask for each domain controller. If a computer has more
than one network adapter, you must assign a separate IP address for each adapter.
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet, click Network and Sharing Center and then click
Change Adapter Settings.
2. Right-click the connection to which you want to add a static IP address and then click Properties.
3. Acknowledge the UAC dialog and then double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP/IPv4).
For a local area connection, in IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway, type the IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway addresses.
6. In Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server, type the primary and secondary DNS server addresses.
To configure advanced static IPv4 address settings for a local area connection, click Advanced.
