WARNING: If allocation of IP addresses is normally handled by a DHCP server on your network, allocated your Raspberry Pi a static IP address may cause an address conflict which may lead to networking problems.
WARNING: If allocation of IP addresses is normally handled by a DHCP server on your network, allocating your Raspberry Pi a static IP address may cause an address conflict which may lead to networking problems.

If you want to allocate a static IP address to your Raspberry Pi the best way to do so is to reserve an address for it on your router. That way your Raspberry Pi will continue to have its address allocated via DHCP but will recieve the same address each time.
