TCP/IP Settings

If using the default Load Balancer settings, and the default Windows 95/98/ME/2000
TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client.
• If you wish to check your TCP/IP settings, the procedure is described in the following sections.
