DHCP is a handy way for devices to connect to your network more easily, because you don\u2019t have to configure IP addressing for each new device yourself. The downside to automatic addressing is that it\u2019s possible for a device\u2019s IP address to change from time to time, which is why people choose static IPs for certain types of devices. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You have a device like a home <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> server that you want to be able to find using the same IP address or host name each time.<\/li>\n<li>You have certain <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s that can only connect to network devices using their IP address. In particular, many older networking apps suffer this limitation.<\/li>\n<li>You forward ports through your router to devices on your network. Some routers play nice with port forwarding and dynamic IP addresses; others do not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whatever your reason, assigning static IP addresses to devices is not difficult, but you do have a choice to make\u2014whether to do it from the router or on the device itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Set a Static IP Address in Ubuntu<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assign_Static_IP_Addresses_Via_Your_Router\"><\/span>Assign Static IP Addresses Via Your Router<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While this article covers assigning static IP addresses to PCs within Windows itself, there is another way to go about it. Many routers allow you to assign a pool of IP addresses that are handed out to specific devices (based on the device\u2019s physical, or MAC address). This method offers a couple of significant advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>IP addresses are still managed by the router, meaning that you won\u2019t have to make (and keep up with) changes on each individual device.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s easier to assign addresses within the same IP address pool your router uses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This article is about assigning static IP addresses directly to PCs running Windows.

If there are problems, Windows will give you the option of running the Network troubleshooting wizard. However, if you do run into trouble, the wizard likely won\u2019t do you too much good. It\u2019s better to check that your settings are valid and try again.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_a_Static_IP_Address_in_Windows_Vista\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">Set a Static IP Address in Windows Vista<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your IP from DHCP to a Static address in Vista is similar to other versions of Windows, but getting to the correct location is a bit different.

Occasionally, though, you might want to set a static IP address for a particular device. While you can set static IP addresses directly on your devices (and this article has shown you how to do just that on Windows PCs), we still recommending setting up static IP addressing on your router if possible. It will just make life easier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/236838\/how-to-find-any-devices-ip-address-mac-address-and-other-network-connection-details\/\"><strong><em>How to Find Any Device&#8217;s IP Address, MAC Address, and Other Network Connection Details<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
