Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

To assign a static IP address to the Ethernet port on a computer, particularly in a Windows environment, you would navigate to the Network and Sharing Center. From there, you would access the adapter settings, select your local area connection, and then enter the properties for Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Within the properties, you would choose the option to use a specific IP address and enter the desired IP information, including the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. This process sets a static IP address for the Ethernet port, ensuring that the computer will always use the same IP address every time it connects to the network, which is useful for various network configurations and applications.Reference:=How to Assign a Static IP Address in Windows 10 or Windows 11 - How-To Geek,How to Set Up a Static IP Address | PCMag

Option C is like the microwaveable version of setting a static IP. Fast, but probably leaves you with a soggy network connection.
