Fixed IP Service Help

Internet IP Address

If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP will have provided you with the required information. Type the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address into the correct boxes.

For example:

DNS Address

The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.

If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select Use These DNS Servers and type the primary and secondary addresses.

Otherwise, select Get Automatically From ISP.

Note: If you get 'Address not found' errors when you go to a Web site, it is likely that your DNS servers aren't set up properly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
