Description: This article reviews how to set a Static IP Address on your Windows OS. 

Note: This should only be done if the computer had previously had this set to static, or if it is replacing another computer that was already static. GWO accounts should have their IT staff perform these steps.

Collect Network Details

In Command Prompt or PowerShell, type "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) and then press Enter to obtain the necessary network details from "Ethernet Adapter Ethernet."
