Configuration Under Windows XP
Configuring a DHCP client under Windows XP is very simple:
•
When inserting an Ethernet board under Windows, it is automatically config-
ured as the DHCP client by default.
•
If the board has already been configured before with a fixed IP address, open
the Configuration panel and select “Network connection.” The window illus-
trated in Figure 10.27 is displayed.
•
Choose “Connection to the local area network” to display the dialogue box
illustrated in Figure 10.28.
•
Click on “Properties” to display the properties of the connection to the local
area network, as illustrated in Figure 10.29.
•
Tick the “Internet protocol (TCP/IP)” box. The “Properties of the Internet
protocol (TCP/IP)” dialogue box is displayed, as illustrated in Figure 10.30.
•
Tick the “Obtain an IP address automatically” box. The computer now has a
DHCP configuration.
Under Windows 2000/XP, to check whether the board is configured properly,
just make sure that it is supported in the “Status of the connection to the local area
network” dialogue box, as illustrated in Figure 10.31 (see the first bullet above to
access this dialogue box).
The “Details” button provides more information on the board’s parameters (see
Figure 10.32).
