Configuring the TCP/IP protocol
A networking protocol is a language computers use to talk to each other. One of several
available protocols must be set up on each computer you plan to use on your network.
We recommend you use the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP),
which is widely accepted and compatible for local area networks (LANs), as well as for
Internet communications.
When networking is set up in Windows, TCP/IP should automatically be installed as the
default protocol. If it is not installed, see the Windows help.
Configuring your computer for DHCP
In order to use the TCP/IP protocol on each computer, you must set the protocol to "Obtain
an IP address from a DHCP server."
If you are using Windows XP, the Windows XP Network Setup Wizard configured your
computer for using a DHCP server. For more information, see
