A hard coded IP address is an IP address manually assinged in the settings of your machine that does not change. Unlike a dynamic address that can change with each lease update, a hard coded IP will be the same even after a full machine reset. This can be a source of problems on the network and for you if your machine is a mobile device that needs to use various IP addresses from different locations. Hard coded IPs are often used for servers, but should be avoided for a regular NMU computer.
If your IP address begins with 192 when on the NMU network then is a probably using a hard coded IP address. However, a hard coded IP is not limited to a 192.x.x.x IP address. If you are faculty or staff and require an unchanging static IP for an application or project, please contact the Computing Helpdesk.
To remove a hard coded IP address and use a dynamic address, click your operating system below.
