Confiruing your Mac to use a static IP with Airport Express

This will show how you can manually assign a static ip to your mac using with AE.

Assuming you have configured a wireless network with your AE already, follow these steps. Mind you while creating this AE wireless network, you have to enter the static ip, subnet mask and Gateway information as provided by your ISP.

1. Open System Preference and then Network.

2. In the TCP/IP tab, Configure Ipv4, select Manually.

3. Enter a IPv4 address of your choice. Generally, I assign a very high IP such as 10.0.1.220

4. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

5. Router: 10.0.1.1 (your AE's default address)

6. Click the DNS tab and add a DNS server as 10.0.1.1 (your AE's default address).

7. Click OK and save the configuration.

Bingo!! off you go.
