Default Networking Question

Hey everyone,

So I'm trying to set up a laptop on my network as a server to host a website, and I'm having issues assigning a static IP to it.

My set-up goes: cable modem > netgear N150 router > cat5 > switch > cat5 > pc

When I try to assign this laptop a static IP on the adapter settings, it works fine until I reboot the machine, and then my router assigns it a different IP and my IP settings on the PC don't work anymore.

How do I ensure my router assigns the same IP to my laptop every time?

Thanks in advance.
