Easiest Way to Set a Static IP for Windows XP
If you spend lot of time online, then you may already know that there are different ways to set static IP for windows XP. Yes, there are many ways to do it, but I am going to show you the easiest way to set up static IP on windows XP. So this activity will no longer look like a big deal for you. Static IP indicates a permanent IP each time you access any application or website from the same computer.
By default, most internet service providers do not provide users with static IP address for windows XP, so you may feel the need to change the settings to static IP at some point.
To get started, click on the start option on your computer. Once you click on the Start menu you will find an option called Control panel. That’s where you will find the option to change the settings to static IP for windows XP.
After you click on control panel, by default you will find this option called classic view. Yes, you guessed it right. You need to change that option to something else, and that something else is “Network Connection.”
Once you have clicked on that option, you can be rest assured that you have completed almost ninety percent of the task to setting a static IP for windows XP.
After selecting “Network Connection”, right click on over there for an option called Local Area connection. The next step is to select properties from the options that come up after the right click.
Then, select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” from the available options, and then again click on properties. There you will find an option called “Obtain an IP address automatically.” You need to select this option to enter the finishing line of completing the task of setting up a static IP for windows XP.
Enter the IP address which you wish to have every time you access or login any application and website with your computer. Make sure that you enter the IP address carefully and correctly.
The next step would be to click on this option, “Use the following DNS server addresses.” and add the DNS servers in your router settings.
These simple steps will help you set up a static IP for windows XP. Remember, you always have the option of reversing the settings through the control penal option, whenever you wish to do so. If you have already followed these steps while reading these instructions then you now have a static IP for windows XP. Congratulations!
