If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

By default, computers running Windows Server 2003 operating systems are configured as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) clients, which means they can accept leases from any available DHCP server. TCP/IP computers (hosts) on a DHCP network automatically obtain TCP/IP configurations from DHCP servers that are located elsewhere on that network.

To configure TCP/IP for static addressing follow this procedure

Click on start–>Control Panel—>Network Connections.

Right-click the network connection you want to configure, and then click Properties.

On the General tab (for a local area connection) or the Networking tab (for all other connections), click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.

Click Use the following IP address, and do one of the following:

• For a local area connection, in IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway, type the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway addresses.

• For all other connections, in IP address, type the IP address.

Click Use the following DNS server addresses.

In Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server, type the primary and secondary DNS server addresses.
