Configuring Windows XP to use DHCP

This section explains how to configure your computer to use DHCP if your computer operating system is Microsoft
Windows XP.
1. From the Windows desktop, select Start
2. Double-click the Network and Dialup Connections icon.
Note: If Control Panel is in category view, select Network and Internet Connections; then select Network
Connections.
A list of network adapters appears as shown in Figure 32: Network connections – Windows XP on page 42. A Local
Area Connection icon must appear under the LAN or High-Speed Internet heading. If it does not, the network is not
installed correctly.
Note: If a red X appears next to the Local Area Connection icon, check your connections. You cannot
successfully configure your system if the red X is present.
3. Right-click the Local Area Connection icon that represents the network adapter connecting the computer to the
Satellite Gateway, and select Properties.
The Local Area Connection Properties dialog appears as shown in Figure 33: Local Area Connection Properties –
