Take your laptop over to the Miner and connect an ethernet cable into it and connect the other side to your laptop.  Then...

Pick your Local Area Connection (you should only have 1, but I run my desktop via NIC Teaming so it says #4).  The icon will look the same.  Double click of course.

Check Use the Following IP Address:

You can hit ok as you do not need any other setting for setting up the miner.  You will have to go back to this and set it to Obtain Automatically when you have the miner setup.

Next open whatever web browser of your choice.

YOUR IP will be the one on the case.  It should bring you here.

Click Network up top and click the edit button.

Then set the IPv4 address to 192.168.1.(Whatever number so you can connect to it instantly).
(EXAMPLE since you have 192.168.1.XXX subnet).
IP Address: 192.168.1.20
Gateway (Router IP): 192.168.1.1  (or if you have UVerse or anyone else that uses 192.168.1.254 for their modems).
Custom DNS: Whatever you set for gateway.

Click save and apply.  It should eventually become non-responsive and at that point you can connect your Miner to your router and can access it from the PC.  You will use the IP Address you set to connect to it.  Also remember you need to turn your laptop back to DHCP (Obtain IP Address Automatically).
