Enabling DHCP to Automatically Configure TCP/IP Settings in Windows 95B, 98, and Me

After the TCP/IP protocol components are installed, each computer must be assigned specific information about itself and resources that are available on its network. The simplest way to configure this information is to allow the computer to obtain the information from a DHCP server in the network.
