Explanation

On Windows, static IP addresses are configured through the Network Adapter properties. The correct path is: Network Connections → Local Area Connection → Properties → Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) → Properties → 'Use the following IP address' (General tab), where you manually enter the IP, subnet mask, and gateway. The other options describe proxy settings, firewall exceptions, and browser Internet Options - none of which configure the adapter's TCP/IP settings.
