12. 12 Basic TCP/IP Client Configuration Parameters IP address Subnet mask Default gateway Domain Name System (DNS) server address

13. 13 IP Address Identifies the computer to the network Required for TCP/IP communication Must be unique on the network Must not be chosen at random Must be assigned by a network administrator

14. 14 Other TCP/IP Parameters ParameterFunction Subnet mask Indicates which Internet Protocol (IP) address bits identify the network and which identify the host Required for TCP/IP communication Default gateway Identifies the router that the computer should use to access other networks DNS server addresses Identifies the DNS servers that the client will use to resolve host and domain names into IP addresses

15. 15 Opening the Advanced TCP/IP Configuration Interface To open the advanced TCP/IP configuration interface: 1. Open the Network And Dial-Up Connections window. 2. Open the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box. 3. Open the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box. 4. Click Advanced to display the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box.

16. 16 Configuring Advanced TCP/IP Parameters You can specify the following in the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box: Multiple IP addresses Multiple default gateways Multiple DNS servers DNS suffix settings Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server addresses IP Security (IPsec) TCP/IP filtering

17. 17 Chapter Summary Use the Network And Dial-Up Connections window to manually install and configure the basic Windows 2000 networking components. Use the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box of a network interface adapter to install, remove, and configure the TCP/IP networking components for that specific network interface adapter. Use the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box to configure basic and advanced TCP/IP properties. The basic TCP/IP properties are IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server address. The advanced TCP/IP properties are multiple IP addresses, multiple default gateways, DNS options, WINS server addresses, and TCP/IP options.
