Obtain IP Address Automatically (DHCP Client)

Do not select this option unless a DHCP server is connected to the network. A DHCP server provides an IP address to computers and other devices.

Select this if the Network does not have a DHCP server, and enter the following data:

IP Address

The IP address must be unused, and compatible with the computers on the network. Usually, this means the first three text boxes should be the same as the computer, and the last text box must be an unused number between 1 and 254.
