Windows 7 - Converting from Static to Dynamic IP
NOTE: If you have information populated in your wireless connection properties window, please take down
this information before selecting the option for automatic IP address retrieval.
These instructions will also work on the Windows Vista operating system.
In order to use the Leeward CC Wirless service, you must have your computer set to DHCP or Dynamic
Hosting Control Protocol.
Normally most computers are already set to this when you connect to a wireless network, however, there
have been some cases where it needs to be changed to this protocol in order to obtain a wireless
connection. To accomplish this, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Click on the Start and type "Network and Sharing Center" (without quotes) and press ENTER. You
will then see the Network and Sharing Center. Click on the option Change adapter settings from the
left side of the screen.
2. The Network Connections window will appear. Right click your network adapter and select
Properties.
