Please note that routers will automatically assign IP addresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) technology. If you are using a DHCP-capable router you will not need to assign static IP addresses.

If you are not using a DHCP capable router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow these instructions:

Click on Start in the upper screen (shown at upper right).

Then click on Control Panel in that same screen

In the lower screen (shown at lower right), double-click on Control Panel.
