Open Network preferences and select your Ethernet port (if that is the port you are setting up) and see what IP address has been assigned by the router's DHCP server. Select Manual from the Configure IPv4 drop down menu. You should see everything included that was provided with DHCP except now the IP address for the computer will read 0.0.0.0. Replace that with the DHCP assigned IP address (for example if the DHCP assigned address was 10.0.1.195, then enter that. You will also need to include a DNS address if one is not included. This should be the DNS assigned to you by your ISP. You will find it in the information listed in Airport Utility. Click on the Apply button.
I'm not sure why you want to do this since it's far more convenient to use DHCP. If you should change routers you will need to reconfigure Network preferences again. You will also need to remember not to assign the IP address to any other device on your network (such as a network printer.)

Why Use Dhcp With Manual Address Mac Os
Cisco Router DHCP Client. As you can see above the DHCP server uses the client identifier for the static binding and assigns IP address 192.168.1.100 to R1. If you don’t like these long numbers you can also configure R1 to use the MAC address as the client identifier instead.
