Assigning a Static IP to Your Computer

IP addresses
In a network, each device carries a unique address, the IP address. If a network device wants to communicate
with another network he will send his message to this IP address.
Why a static IP address?
These IP addresses are normally assigned to your computer by a dedicated server, the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. This server can be integrated in your (Internet) gateway or located on
the Internet. But since your THOMSON TG185n is currently not connected to either of these, we will have to
manually assign an address to your computer.
How can I configure this on my computer?
If your computer runs:
Windows Vista, proceed with
Windows XP, proceed with
Mac OS X, proceed with
Another operating system, consult the help of your operating system.
