Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
To configure a static IP address assignment
If the remote access server is part of a Windows Server 2003 domain, do the following:
Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
In the console tree, click Users.
Where?
- Active Directory Users and Computers/domain name/Users
In the details pane, right-click a user name, and then click Properties.
On the Dial-in tab, select the Assign a Static IP Address check box, and then type the static IP address for this user.
If the remote access server is a stand-alone server (not part of a domain), do the following:
Open Computer Management.
In the console tree, click Users.
Where?
- Computer Management/System Tools/Local Users and Groups/Users
In the details pane, right-click a user name, and then click Properties.
On the Dial-in tab, select the Assign a Static IP Address check box, and then type the static IP address for this user.
Notes
To open Active Directory Users and Computers, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Active Directory Users and Computers.
To open Computer Management, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.
The server running Routing and Remote Access will provide a dynamic IP address to a user if the static address you specify is not valid or is already in use by another user.
