Configuring Computers Running on Windows XP
The procedure below describes how to configure a computer running on Windows XP OS
to automatically obtain its IP address (from a DHCP server, for example, MP-264).
Note:
For computers running Windows, the setup procedure is generally unnecessary
as Windows' default network settings are to obtain an IP address automatically.
However, it is recommended to follow the setup procedure to verify that all
communication parameters are valid and that the physical cable connections are
correct.
To configure a computer running Windows XP for dynamic IP
addressing:
1.
Access 'Network Connections' from the Control Panel.
2.
Right-click the
Ethernet connection
icon, and then choose
Properties
.
3.
Under the
General
tab, select the 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)' component, and then
click the
Properties
button; the 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties’ dialog box is
displayed.
