Most networks would use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to
automatically assign an IP address to the work station. Even small switches
/ routers have DHCP server inbuilt nowadays. So assigning a static IP
address is probably not the way to go.
Unless you know what you do, I would suggest getting assistance from your
network people.
OTOH, this newsgroup is for Microsoft Access (a database application) and
not general computer access.
