How to Set Up a Static IP on UM150
Verizon's UM150 is a USB modem that can connect your computer to wireless Internet. By default, it assigns your computer a dynamic Internet Protocol address. This means your IP address could change every time you connect. If you are connecting to a network with many other computers, it likely will change. The solution is to assign a static IP address. This will let the UM150 assign your computer the same IP every time.
