Question : Problem: How to set a static ip address on the teamed card Intel Pro/1000 dual port adapter

I am trying to figure out how to set up a static ip address on my teamed dual port adapter card.  
Once again I have teamed the ports together but becuase this card is rather old (2001...hey it still gives me gig port capability)I have not been able to figure out how to statically assign an ip  to the teamed port.

Once teamed, Windows should create a 3rd NIC in Network Connections. If not easily determined from the naming (Local Area Connection 1, 2, 3 doesn't help me either), go into the Properties of each NIC. The individual NICs will not have TCP/IP bound to them, and will have the Intel Teaming Protocol bound. The Virtual/Teamed NIC will be the one with the opposite config - TCP/IP bound, Intel Teaming not.
From there, treat it like a normal NIC, go into the Properties of TCP/IP and establish your settings.

I usually rename the NICs as well when I'm done - right-click...Rename. Call the Teamed NIC something to remember it by in the future. I also turn off the "Show NIC in taskbar when connected" for the individual NICs and turn it on for the Virtual NIC, so there is no confusion as to which NIC is being administered in the future, since you want to administer the Virtual NIC most of the time.
