IP Address

Everyone who logs on to the Internet needs to have a unique
identifier (an IP address), whether permanent or temporary.
Some networks dynamically assign a temporary IP address when
clients log on; others do not. The IP Address field lets you identify
whether your network provides automatic (dynamic) temporary IP
addressing.

Note

: If your IP address is permanently assigned, you will need to

get that information from your System Administrator. If you are
not sure, select Automatic.

To identify dynamic IP addressing:

Tap the IP Address: Automatic checkbox (so that it’s
checked), as shown in the following diagram:
