Enabling DHCP to Automatically Configure TCP/IP Settings in
Windows 95B, 98, and Me
After the TCP/IP protocol components are installed, each computer must be assigned specific
information about itself and resources that are available on its network. The simplest way to
configure this information is to allow the computer to obtain the information from a DHCP server
in the network.
There are many similarities in the procedures for different Windows systems when using DHCP to
configure TCP/IP. The following steps walk you through the configuration process for each of
these versions of Windows.
