Step 3: 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, TCP/IP should
automatically be installed as the default protocol. If it is not
installed, see the Windows help.

If your network configuration requires a static IP address (one
that does not change), you must set the IP address manually.
This means that you need to enter an IP address and a subnet
mask. For more information about setting the IP address
manually, see the Setting Up Your Windows Network guide
