The answer depends on the type of network you are connected to. Most residential networks are set up using DHCP (you automatically receive an IP address when you turn on your computer), which is how the WP100 and WP200 units are sent out. You must find out from your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or network administrator whether it is necessary to reconfigure your unit to have a static/fixed IP address. If so, you can easily do so through a very simple, web interface.
