Installing and Configuring Microsoft TCP/IP and SNMP

This chapter explains how to install Microsoft TCP/IP and the SNMP service for Windows NT and how to configure the protocols on your computer.

The TCP/IP protocol family can be installed as part of Custom Setup when you install Windows NT, following the steps described in this chapter. Also, if you upgrade to a new version of Windows NT, Setup automatically installs the new TCP/IP protocol and preserves your previous TCP/IP settings. This chapter assumes that Windows NT has been successfully installed on your computer but TCP/IP has not been installed.

The following topics appear in this chapter:

• Before installing Microsoft TCP/IP
• Installing TCP/IP
• Configuring TCP/IP
• Configuring TCP/IP to use DNS
• Configuring advanced TCP/IP options
• Configuring SNMP
• Removing TCP/IP components
• Configuring Remote Access Service (RAS) for use with TCP/IP

You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to install and configure all elements of TCP/IP.
