The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to properly configure your computer with a static IP address.
This can be very useful if you rely on your machine as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) Device, webserver, as well as any other application where you might need to know your local IP at a moment's notice.
This tutorial will walk you through step-by-step how to complete this, and along the way I'll include screenshots and tips.
This tutorial does not at all pertain only to "network professionals". Amateurs trying to host a local video game server, their own file server, or anything else that they might want to do on their network, will find this incredibly helpful as well.
