If your network uses a DHCP server, you don’t need to obtain an IP address before beginning this procedure—the server finds one for you.

When you have your IP address, follow the steps below to assign it to your computer.

1.Select TCP/IP on the list of installed network components on the Configuration tab, and then click the Properties button. If necessary, click the IP Address tab.

2.Click Specify an IP address, and then enter the IP address and subnet mask.

If you’re using a DHCP server on your network, you can assign an IP address automatically by selecting Obtain an IP address automatically and clicking OK.

3.Click OK to close the TCP/IP Properties window, then click OK again to close the Network window and have your IP address assignment take effect. Make sure you share the IP address for the scanner server with client computers.
