I am here should you need any further assistance.
The alternative configuration will only be used if the DHCP service us unavailable.
To do this you will need to either stop the DHCP services on the server or shut it down (if you want to test for server unavailability)
You will then need to either perform a reboot on the computer so that it doesn't pick up a DHCP address or run the following command from a command prompt: ipconfig /release
