Go to network connections and open the window.
Find your network adapter and right click once on it and select "PROPERTIES" at the bottom of the context menu list that appears.
Usually this will be labeled something like Local Area Connection.

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click once on it to select it and then click on the button "PROPERTIES"
