From DHCP to Static

The simplest answer to this is to manually input the IP addresses and other information into each computer. Since you're already on DHCP, just go to the dos prompt on each and type ipconfig /all.
This will give you all the applicable IP information that you'll need.

Then, in the network control panel app, change from dhcp to static, enter the IP address of the computer, the subnet mask and the default gateway, change to the WINS tab and enter the WINS servers.

This should do the trickfor you, even though it's a lot of work.

I agree with the above answer but you also may want to consider changing your DHCP scope. A "normal" DHCP configuration has an address range specified to accomodate all dynamically assigned addresses. Then you should leave out a certain address range for static IP addresses (for servers, printers, switches, etc.). Therefore you keep your DHCP and static addresses seperate within the particular subnet. That makes it easier to administer if you want to switch back to DHCP. You won't have to worry about duplicate IP addresses on your network. Hope that helps!

Please remove the DHCP scope or the DHCP service from the server where you have installed the same. Then go to network properties and select protocols tab then select TCP/IP, change from "Obtain IP address from DHCP server to Static IP address mode"Enetr your IP address with subnet mask, If any gateways are there please enter the gate way address also.

All other computers should have the same address pool with Same subnet mask. That's all your computers will have Static IP address.
