Windows TCP/IP Setup

Overview

TCP/IP Settings

If using the default Load Balancer settings, and the default Windows 95/98/ME/2000

TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

•

By default, the Load Balancer will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suitable IP

Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.

•

For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client.

•

If you wish to check your TCP/IP settings, the procedure is described in the following sections.

If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-configure the Router itself. Refer to
