IP Setup Basics

DHCP is mandatory. Static IPs will break your connection.

Our network uses dynamic addressing.

The Rule

Set everything to Automatic (DHCP).

  • Do not set a static IP.
  • Do not use your home DNS settings if they are local (like Pi-hole).
  • Do not set a custom gateway.

How to check (Windows)

  1. Press Win + R, type ncpa.cpl, press Enter.
  2. Right-click your Ethernet adapter > Properties.
  3. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties.
  4. Make sure both are selected:
    • Obtain an IP address automatically
    • Obtain DNS server address automatically

Troubleshooting

If you have “Unidentified Network” or “No Internet”:

  1. Open Command Prompt (cmd).
  2. Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
  3. Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.

If you get an error or it times out, check your cable or ask staff.
