• For the DHCP method
If the IP address assignment method is DHCP, check if DHCP is shown
in the window. If it shows Static, click Change TCP/IP to change the
assignment method to DHCP.
• For the Static method
If the IP address assignment method is Static, check if Static is shown
in the window. If it shows DHCP, click Change TCP/IP to enter the IP
address and other network configuration values for the machine.
Before entering the IP address for the machine, you must know the
computer’s network configuration information. If the computer is
set to DHCP, you must contact the network administrator to get the
static IP address.
For example:
If the computer’s network information is as shown follows:
- IP address: 169.254.133.42
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Then, the machine’s network information should be as follows:
- IP address: 169.254.133.43
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet mask.)
- Gateway: 169.254.133.1
