CONCEPT NOTES:
In a home network with several computers and devices, it is ideal to assign each of them a
specific address. This is for the purpose of avoiding problems when you do troubleshooting which
requires figuring out the IP address of each of them. It is also a means to prevent address conflicts
between the devices. You can also manage them with ease if you have assigned their own
addresses.
Here are the procedures in assigning an IP Address on a windows base computer system:

1. Open the Control Panel’s Network Connections icon.

2. Open the icon representing your computer’s network connection.
3. Click the Properties button in the Status dialog box.
4. From the list of items, choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
5. Click the Properties button. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box
appears.
6. Type the IP address for your computer. Enter the appropriate IP Address in the IP
address section.
7. Type a subnet mask. The value used on a local network is commonly 255.255.255.0,
but it can be different, such as 255.255.255.127.
8. Type the default gateway address. The default gateway is the router, so type the
router’s address.
9. Type the address for the preferred DNS server. The address should be obtained from
your Internet Service Protocol. It is used to help your computer find web pages and
other addresses on the internet.
10. Type the address for the alternate DNS server. The alternate Domain Name System
(DNS) server’s IP address is something that your ISP provides.
11. Click OK to confirm the settings.
12. Close all other open dialog boxes and windows.
