How do you give a computer a static IP under Vista?

[MemoryInAGarden]

I had set up a static IP address under Windows XP to allow for port forwarding. How do I set this up under Vista?

To configure a static IP address on your Windows Vista computer:

Click Start and click Control Panel.
Select Network and Internet, then Network and Sharing Center, and click Manage network connections from the list of tasks.
Right click your local area connection and click Properties.
Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list and click the Properties button.
Select Use the following IP address.
Enter in the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway information provided to you.
Enter in the IP address of the DNS servers your computer will use.
Click OK.

Little addition to the above...You will probably see both ipv4 and ipv6 in your connection properties list. Uncheck ipv6 since you dont need it and make your changes to ipv4.

Really the same process as XP was, just getting to your Network Connections is a bit different.
