To configure Windows 95 and Windows NT* client workstations to use DHCP, complete the following steps:
At the client desktop, click Start > Settings > Control Panel, and then double-click Network.
The Network window is displayed, listing the network components installed on the client workstation.
Click TCP/IP > Properties.
The TCP/IP Properties window opens.
Select Obtain an IP Address Automatically and click OK.
The next time the client starts up, it will send a request to the DHCP server for an IP address.
IMPORTANT: Any client configuration settings override the configuration received from a DHCP server. The only exception is the hostname parameter set on the DNS Configuration tab of the TCP/IP Properties window.
