Configuring a Windows DHCP Client


Configuring a Windows client for DHCP is easy. The DHCP client is included automatically when you install the TCP/IP protocol, so all you have to do is configure TCP/IP to use DHCP. To do this, open the Network Properties dialog box by choosing Network or Network Connections in the Control Panel (depending on which version of Windows the client is running). Then select the TCP/IP protocol and click the Properties button. This action opens the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, as shown in Figure 6-4. To configure the computer to use DHCP, select the Obtain an IP Address Automatically and Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically check boxes.
