Help needed to assign static I.P. to networked workstation

Machine has Win2K and the DHCP server assigns an I.P. in the range
192.168.0.xx each time the workstation logs on.

I want to assigne a static I.P., such as 192.168.0.90, but don't know
what other parameters I need to assig in the tcp/ip networking
properties windows.

This is a p2p network with internet access through a modem router.

I'm just not familiar enough with Win2k to know what settings to set ,
and where.

Thanks for any help!

It looks like you're on a Class C subnet (24bit) so the subnet mask will
look like this: 255.255.255.0 ...I'm not sure what your gateway is though -
you could just do: IPCONFIG /ALL from the command line and it'll give you
all the stuff you need. 192.168.0.90 is a valid address on your subnet -
just make sure that the DHCP server doesn't automatically assign it to
another machine.
 
To make sure that the DHCP server doesn't assign
192.168.0.90 to another computer, you'll have to create an
exclusion for that address on the DHCP server

Alternatively, you can leave the '90' computer with a
dynamic address, but create a reservation on the DHCP
server. To do this, you'll need the MAC address of
the '90' computer's network card (can be found by
typing 'ipconfig /all' at the command prompt and will be
labelled 'Physical address'). This will mean that DHCP
always gives out the same address to that computer.
