Found something usefull: 

 

go to the following location C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Inside \etc you will find the "hosts" file. Click on properties and make sure that
the file does not have "Read Only" set.
Open "hosts" using notepad. 
Underneath 127.0.0.1 local host,
insert 192.168.1.254 HP97D4C3

Reboot.
