Hey, how do I get the same local IP every time I turn on my computer? I'm running XP pro btw. I sometimes use an ethernet cable and someimes wireless so it changes and I need it to be 192.168.1.106. Thanks and sorry if this is in the wrong section.
So you want both Local Area connection and Wireless connection on the same IP address. Remember you can only use either one. Otherwise, network is conflicted. If so, here are steps: Goto network connection goto properties of Local area choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on properties click on Use the following IP address enter 192.168.1.106 at IP address save and close. Then go back to network connection goto properties of Wireless choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on properties click on Use the following IP address enter 192.168.1.106 at IP address save. Hopefully, there will be no message here. It may show the IP address has been used. close. You are done.
