Last Update: 03 Feb 2000

Please Note: SLAC does not support Windows 95. If you have to connect a Windows 95 machine to the network, you are expected to follow the stated guidelines or you will not be given network connection privileges.

Configuring Windows 95 to use DHCP

To enable your Windows95 computer to use DHCP, go to the Start Menu and bring up the Control Panel as shown below:

From the Control Panel, double click the Network icon as shown here:

From the Network control panel, highlight TCP/IP and click Properties:

On the TCP/IP menu click the IP Address tab and check the Obtain an IP address automatically box.

Click OK. You will now be told to reboot. You should make the network connection as the machine begins to reboot so that the network can be started properly.
