Reservations And Exclusions

My Top 3

Some computers or other networked devices, such as routers or printers, might need to keep the same IP address all the time. For example, Microsoft very strongly suggests you be sure that your DHCP server has a static, unchanging address. There are two ways you can be sure a particular computer or device keeps the same static address. The first method is to manually configure the client using the client’s software. For example, when you configure a Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional client or a Windows XP client, you can specify a static IP address (along with other network information) using the TCP/IP properties page for the client.
