3. Select Use the following IP Address button and then enter the IP

address and subnet mask. Ensure that the IP address and subnet maskare on the same subnet as the device.

For Example:Device IP address: 192.168.1.1PC IP address: 192.168.1.70PC and Device subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

4. Click on the OK button to close this window, and once again to close LANproperties window.

For Windows Vista Static & DHCP TCP/IP Configurations

There are two ways that a TCP/IP address is assigned to a computer; eitherDynamically or with a Static method (Manually). These are outlined below:

Dynamic: This address is assigned automatically through DHCP (otherwiseknown as Obtain IP address automatically. This is the default setting thatWindows Vista tries to configure for the PC. It contacts a DHCP server on thenetwork and asks for an IP address. The DHCP server will either be from yourInternet Service Provider (ISP) or from your own router. This is the easiestconfiguration you can get, as everything will be done behind the scenes withoutintervention.

Static: If you dont have a DHCP server running, for any reason, you will have togive your PC a specific address that you will have to configure Windows Vista IPmanually. Here is a short walk through:

1. Go to the Start Orb and click Control Panel. In the control panel clickNetwork and Internet

2. Now click on Network and Sharing Center

3. In the Network and Sharing Center look along the left pane and clickManage Network Connections

This will bring up a window with your Network Connections this will vary bycomputer and what is installed. In this case you need to right click on theadapter you want to configure. Choose Properties.

If this is true, then selectInternet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) from the list of protocols andclick Properties

2. On the properties page you will set the button to use the following IPaddress and then configure the following according to your network:

# IP Address# Subnet Mask# Default Gateway# Preferred DNS# Alternate DNS

3. Configure IP Gateway and Subnet

4. In almost all the cases all you have to do is hit Ok and you will be ready togo.

5. If you had clicked the Advanced buttons you would have options to setupmultiple IPs, Gateways, DNS and WINS settings. These are advancedconcepts that are beyond the scope of this procedure guide.

Right click on the Local Area Connectionicon. Choose Properties, and double click on the item Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)

An Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties screen will pop up and set itaccordingly to obtain an IP address and DNS automatically:

Click the OK button to confirm the change.For now the PC should send a DHCP request directly to the router viathe bridge, and an IP address will be assigned from the router to the PC/end userdevice.
