IP address

Everyone who logs on to the Internet needs to have a unique identifier (an IP address), whether permanent or temporary. Some networks dynamically assign a temporary IP address when clients log in. The IP Address field lets you identify whether your network provides automatic (dynamic) temporary IP addressing.

Note: If your IP address is permanently assigned, you need to get that information from your System Administrator. If you are not sure, select Automatic.

To identify dynamic IP addressing:

■Tap the IP Address check box to select it.
