To configure TCP/IP for dynamic addressing
1. | Open Network Connections |
2. | Right-click the network connection that you want to configure, and then click Properties. |
3. | On the General tab (for a local area connection) or the Networking tab (all other connections), click the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) component, and then click Properties. |
4. | Click Obtain an IP address automatically, and then click OK. |
Note
| • | To open Network Connections, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections. |
| • | You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure. |
| • | These instructions are only required if a static TCP/IP configuration was previously used. By default, Windows attempts to obtain the TCP/IP configuration from a DHCP server on your network. |
