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
