IP Address If you need to assign static IP addresses to the devices in your network, please remember that the IP address for each computer or device must be in the same IP address range as all the devices in the network. Each device must also have the same subnet mask. For example: Assign the first computer an IP address of 192.168.0.2 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the second device an IP address of 192.168.0.3 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and so on.

IP Address
If you need to assign static IP addresses to the devices in your network, please
remember that the IP address for each computer or device must be in the same
IP address range as all the devices in the network. Each device must also have
the same subnet mask.
For example: Assign the first computer an IP address of
192.168.0.2 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the second device an IP address
of 192.168.0.3 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and so on.
Note: Devices that
are assigned the same IP address may not be visible on the network.
Enter the IP address of the DNS server. The DNS server
translates domain names such as www.dlink.com into IP addresses.
