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

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.
