My laptop has been wiped. How do i set a new IP address?
Most isp automatically assign ip addresses Just setup your computer and run what ever disk was given to you by your ISP and you should be set There are two ways to get an ip address either dynamic or static Dynamic ip addressing happens automatically It gives you an ip address each time you boot up and the network detects your presence and when you terminate the session the ip address is sent back to the list and used on another computer and static ip addresses are assigned to your computer on a permanent basis Static is usually used on servers and such
