Configuring an Ethernet Connection in Windows 11

In the taskbar at the bottom of the Search field, type Control Panel. Once the Control Panel opens, choose Network and Internet.

Network and Sharing Center #

Open the Network and Sharing Center. Then, from the left side, choose Change adapter settings.

Local Area Connection #

Next, right click on the Ethernet icon and choose Properties.

If the Ethernet icon does not exist, it means that the network card has not been installed.

In the window that appears, under the Networking tab, choose Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click the Properties button.

Use the following IP address #

In the Properties: Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) window that will appear, choose Use the following IP address. Fill in the fields with the corresponding details provided to us by the IT Center (DGU). More specifically:

where xxx is the corresponding part of the IP address and yyy are numbers from 1-254.

Click OK in all open windows (starting from the last one we opened and continuing until the first one we opened).

Update of system parameters #

The system will immediately update its parameters with the new settings and connect to the local network.

If the Local Connection icon in the taskbar (bottom right) shows “Internet access”, then we can connect to the internet through any browser, e.g., Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox.
