INSTALLING TCP/IP ON WINDOWS NT

Now that we have a basic understanding of TCP/IP and how it works on a network, let’s walk through installing and configuring TCP/IP on Windows NT Server 4.0. In this section, we work with these basic assumptions:
• you are using an Internet domain name of "company.com"
• your server’s TCP/IP host name is "www"
• your server’s IP address is 204.176.47.2
• your server has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
• this particular server has only one network card installed
• you have a WINS server installed and running with an IP address of 204.176.47.1
Follow these steps to install TCP/IP.

Open the Control Panel by clicking Start, choosing Settings, and clicking Control Panel. A window containing all the installed Control Panel applets will appear.

Once the Control Panel is active, scroll down until you locate the Network and double-click on it to bring up the Network Configuration dialog box Select the Protocols tab and click Add.

The Select Network Protocol dialog box will appear). Scroll down the list of available protocols until you see TCP/IP Protocol. Double-click TCP/IP Protocol or click the protocol and click OK to add it to your network configuration.
