Configuring TCP/IP Properties

After the TCP/IP protocol components are installed, each PC must be assigned specific
information about itself and resources that are available on its network. The simplest way to
configure this information is to allow the PC to obtain the information from the internal DHCP
server of the firewall router.
Note: If an ISP technician configured your PC during the installation of a broadband
modem, or if you configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you may need to
copy the current configuration information for use in the configuration of your firewall
router. Refer to
"Obtaining ISP Configuration Information
information.
If you are using DHCP with the recommended default addresses, you can configure your PCs by
following these steps:
Install TCP/IP on each PC, leaving the PC configured to obtain configuration settings
