Configuring the TCP/IP protocol

A networking protocol is a language computers use to talk to each other. One of several available 
protocols must be set up on each computer you plan to use on your network. We recommend 
you use the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which is widely accepted 
and compatible for local area networks (LANs), as well as for Internet communications.
When networking is set up in Windows Vista™, TCP/IP is automatically installed as the default 
protocol.

Using a DHCP server
In order to use the TCP/IP protocol on a computer with a router or access point router, the 
protocol must be set to “Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.” This is typically preset when 
you receive your computer.

Configuring your router
After you have named your computers and set up TCP/IP on them, you can configure your router 
using your Web browser. For instructions, see your router’s documentation.
