I bought a Toshiba laptop with pre-installed XP Home. One
strange thing with this installation is that I can't seem
to assign a fixed IP on this machine. Is there someway I
can turn the ability on?

How are you trying to assign a fixed IP address? What exactly happens
when you do it? If there's an error message, what does it say?

I think you have to click the advanced button under TCP/IP properties,
versus Win 2K which popped the IP address fields up immediately.

Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Dialup Connections

Right click Local Area Network (or Dialup) and select Properties.

Select TCP/IP and click Properties.

Click the advanced button.
