If you have more computers cu Windows (or other devices) connected to the same network and use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for the connection, each computer/device in the network and will be assigned a Different IP address by each date when they will be started. This can cause sometimes address conflicts Between computers, and will also require checking IP addresses whenever various network errors will have to be resolved.
To avoid IP conflicts and easier administration of computers and network, it is recommended assigning specific IP addresses each computer in the respective network.
