The DNS is not needed, it can stay automatic. However, I did forget to mention that you should set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and the default gateway to 192.168.0.1 on both the PC and Xbox.

To change the PC address:
1. [Start]->[Control Panel]->[network connections]
2. Right click the LAN device you are using and choose "Properties"
3. In the "General" tab, there should a a scroll window with many check box's. Scroll to the one that says "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)"
4. Highlight the option mentioned in step 3 and click the "Properties" button.
5. In the "General" tab, click the "Use the Following IP address" radial button. Enter in the info and click OK on every window.
6. Go back to [Start]->[Control Panel]->[network connections]
7. Right click the LAN device and click "Disable". Then right click again and choose "Enable". Your PC should now have a static IP.


Your PC does not require a reboot after changing settings. The Xbox does.
