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 XP or Windows 2000, TCP/IP is
automatically installed as the default protocol.
