CHAPTER 5: Networking Your Computer

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.

Connecting to a wireless Ethernet network

Connecting to your network

After you have named your computer and workgroup, you need to set up the network connection

on your computer.

To connect to your wireless Ethernet network:

1 Click (Start), then click Network. The Network window opens.

Important

Each computer on your network needs a unique Computer Name. All the computers on your network need the same

Workgroup Name. You may have already named your computer and workgroup the first time you turned on your computer.
