Hi everyone this is Patrick from Dutchy Tech Tips if you already haven't done so
hit the subscribe button. In this video I am going to show you how to set up a
static IP address in Windows 10. To learn how stay tuned.
A static IP
address makes it easier to find your computer in the network because your IP
address doesn't change to set up a static IP address in Windows 10 we need
to access the network interface. To do this we need to move our mouse to the
right-hand corner and find a computer with a little cable and when you hover
over it will say network. Because this computer is not connected to the
Internet it will have a yellow triangle warning you that you have no internet
access. This computer does have no internet access but does not affect this
tutorial video. So what we need to do is we need to right click on network which
will bring a context menu and we need to select open network and share center.
This will open up the control panel to the page network and share center. What
we need to do next is go to change adapter settings. Once you have done that
you will be shown to the network connections page. Now results may vary on
your computer as I only have one network interface called Ethernet. So we're going
to right click on Ethernet and then a context menu will appear and we need to
select properties as you can see a Ethernet properties window has appeared
we need to select Internet Protocol version 4 TCP/IPV4. This is
recommended to set a static IP address. Once you have done that click properties.
To set a static IP address we need to select use the following IP address. Now
we're going to enter our IP address. Then we need to set our subnet
mask. This is a slash 16 network, meaning that this value 10 and this value 1
remains the same however 1 in 10 we can change at will. Next we need to set a
gateway once you have done that. We need to assign a DNS server I'm going to be
using the one from Google. It is recommended that you use a static IP
address from the private IP address range you can find that information on
Wikipedia. Once you have done that click OK. Click close. To verify that our static
IP address is set up correctly we need to hold down the windows key and press R
and we need to type CMD which will open up the command prompt. What we need to do
is type ipconfig as shown on the screen space forward slash all. If you have IP
config space for /all, then press Enter. As you can see that our IP address 10
decimal 1 decimal 1 decimal 10 has been set our subnets and our gateway. To
summarize the key points of this video I've shown you how to set up a static IP
address, I've shown you how to open up command prompt, and showing you how to
use command prompt to confirm that we have set up our static IP address
successfully in windows 10.
