	I need to set a static IP address on a PC.
	The router, by default, assigns an IP address range of 192.168.1.100 to
	192.168.1.149 using the DHCP server on the router. To set a static IP address, you
	can only use the ranges 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99 and 192.168.1.150 to
	192.168.1.254. Each PC or network device that uses TCP/IP must have a unique
	address to identify itself in a network. If the IP address is not unique to a network,
	Windows will generate an IP conflict error message. You can assign a static IP
	address to a PC by performing these steps:
	Windows 2000
STEP 1	Click Start, Settings, and Control Panel. Double-clickNetwork and Dial-Up
	Connections.
STEP 2	Right-click the Local Area Connection that is associated with the Ethernet
	adapter you are using, and click Properties.
STEP 3	In the Components checked are used by this connection box, select Internet
	Protocol (TCP/IP), and click Properties. Select Use the following IP address.
STEP 4	Enter a unique IP address that is not used by any other computer on the network
	connected to the router. You can only use an IP address in the ranges 192.168.1.2
	to 192.168.1.99 and 192.168.1.151 to 192.168.1.254.
STEP 5	Enter the Subnet Mask, 255.255.255.0.
STEP 6	Enter the Default Gateway, 192.168.1.1 (Router’s default IP address).
STEP 7	Select Use the following DNS server addresses, and enter the Preferred DNS
	server and Alternative DNS server (provided by your ISP). Contact your ISP or go
	on its website to find the information.
