Creare una connessione con un indirizzo IP statico

La maggior parte delle reti assegneranno automaticamente al computer un indirizzo IP e altri dettagli appena verrà stabilita una connessione a Internet. Questi dettagli possono cambiare periodicamente, ma si potrebbe preferire avere un indirizzo IP statico per sapere sempre qual'è l'indirizzo del computer (per esempio, se si tratta di un server di file).

Per assegnare al computer un indirizzo IP statico:

  1. Go to the desktop and start typing Network.

  2. Click on Network to open the panel.

  3. Find the network connection that you want to have a fixed address. Click the settings button next to the network connection. For a Wi-Fi connection, the settings button will be located next to the active network.

  4. Select the IPv4 or IPv6 tab and change the Method to Manual.

  5. Type in the IP Address and Gateway, as well as the appropriate Netmask.

  6. In the DNS section, switch the Automatic switch to off. Enter the IP address of a DNS server you want to use. Enter additional DNS server addresses using the + button.

  7. In the Routes section, switch the Automatic switch to off. Enter the Address, Netmask, Gateway and Metric for a route you want to use. Enter additional routes using the + button.

  8. Click Apply. The network connection should now have a fixed IP address.
