1) i) Open Network & Internet Settings > Network & Sharing Centre > Control Panel - All Control Panel Items - Network and Sharing Centre > change Adapter settings > Ethernet - TCPIP v4 - (*) Use the following IP Address:
IP Address: 192.168.15.252
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.15.1
(*) Use the following DNS server addresses:
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.15.252
Alternative DNS Server: 127.0.0.1 // This is the loopback address - for
// this example, it can be empty
