How to bind IP address to MAC address in Windows XP?

Question

I want to bind IP address to MAC address on my computer, how to do it?

Solution

arp -s 192.168.1.1 00-22-44-66-88-AA

binds 192.168.1.1 to 00:22:44:66:88:AA by static arp cache method...

If you meant, however, that you want a machine always allocated an ip address based on its MAC address, you need to set it in the router / DHCP server providing the IPs.

I'd assume you are at home, using a internet/wifi router, and want IP address to be allocated per MAC address. Whether you can do this depends on whether your router support this feature. An easier alternative would be to setup the IP address manually instead of waiting it being dealt by the DHCP server...
