DHCP enables automatic configuration of TCP/IP parameters for your computer. Your internetwork must have a DHCP server running if you want to take advantage of this feature for easy configuration.

Explanation:

In addition to making it easier to configure your TCP/IP parameters, DHCP prevents problems that can arise when addresses are entered incorrectly, or when one address is entered on more than one computer, or when computers are moved from one area to another.

User Action:

If you are not sure whether your internetwork has a DHCP server, ask your system administrator.
