# TCP/IP Configuration Notebook Online Help

## Getting Started

On most LAN-connected computers, the minimum configuration required to run TCP/IP is:

1. Complete the Basic Options page of the Network tab for at least one LAN adapter, typically LAN interface 0.

2. Read the information on configuring the Routing tab to determine if any special situations apply to the computer you are configuring. If so, you may need to complete the fields on the Routing tab. Otherwise, go to the Autostart tab and set the autostart options for dynamic routing by way of ROUTED.

3. Complete the Computer's Host Name, Local Domain Name, and Name Server Addresses fields on the Configure Name Resolution Services page of the Host Names tab.

Some other key tasks to consider doing when configuring TCP/IP are:

1. Setting up servers and adding users

2. Configuring SOCKS

3. Configuring printer services

4. Configuring Network File System

5. Autostarting services (like FTP)
