How to Assign Devices on a Router With a Static IP Address
When your computer connects to a router, the router usually assigns an IP address to the device. However, in situations where the router is configured to not automatically assign IP addresses, you have to manually assign the device a static IP address. This isn't too difficult to do, but it does require that you go through the properties of your network card and alter its setup.
