KB153446 - Configuring Connection to Use Static IP and DNS Server Addresses

MORE INFORMATION

First, locate the connection (.con) file that corresponds to the connection icon. To do so, follow these steps:

Using any text editor (such as Notepad), open a .con file.
Look at the Description line to see if it is the correct file.
If this is not the correct file, close the file and open the next .con file. Repeat until you locate the correct .con file.

Once you have located the correct file, modify the lines in [IP] section to match the settings you need to use. These lines are described below:

UseSpecificIpAddr = No / Yes

This should be set to Yes if you were assigned an IP address by your Internet service provider.
SpecificNameServers = No / Yes

This should be set to Yes if your Internet service provider assigned you a specific DNS address.
SpecificIPAddress=0.0.0.0

This should be set to the IP address assigned to you by your Internet service provider. It is not used unless the "UseSpecificIpAddr=" line is set to Yes.
DNSAddress=0.0.0.0
DNSAddress2=0.0.0.0

This is the Domain Name server and Backup Name server. Enter these addresses if they were provided by your Internet service provider. These lines are ignored if the "SpecificNameServers=" line is set to No.
