Windows 7 Static TCP/IP Setup

Windows 7 Static TCP/IP Setup

Assuming that you’re in the Category view, you should navigate to the Control Panel, choose Network and Internet, and then clickNetwork and Sharing Center. This is the window that you should see (click image to enlarge it):

Click the Local Area Connection to begin configuring your static IP address.

IN Local Area Connection Status window, click the Properties button. It will show you the Local Area Connection Properties dialog. Click on the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) in the item box of the dialog window.

Click the Use the following IP address radio button and enter the appropriate values for your static IP address. The default gateway and DNS server are generally different but are the same when you’re using NAT addressing inside VMWare.

You should be completed now. If you test the connection, Windows 7 raises and error but everything works after you reboot the operating system.
