Your PC: Configuring DHCP on a TCP/IP Stack on a PC
These instructions will help you configure each of your computers to be able to communicate
with the gateway to obtain an IP (or TCP/IP) address automatically (called DHCP, Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol).
Find out which operating system your computer is running by clicking the Start button and then
going to the Settings option. Then click Control Panel and double-click the System icon. If your
Start menu doesn’t have a Settings option, you’re running Windows XP. Click the Cancel button
when done.
You may need to do this for each computer you are connecting to the gateway.
Important:
These instructions apply only to Windows Me, 2000, or XP machines. For TCP/IP setup
under Windows NT, see your Windows manual. By default Windows 2000, Me, and XP have
TCP/IP installed and set to obtain an IP address automatically.
The next few pages tell you, step by step, how to configure your network settings, based on the
type of Windows operating system you are using. Make sure that an Ethernet card or adapter has
been successfully installed in each PC you want to configure.
