The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYMicrosoft TCP/IP-32 includes a MSTCP32.DEF file, which allows you to specify customized configuration defaults during installation of TCP/IP-32. You can use this file to have user installations default to specific values for the given settings.
MORE INFORMATIONIf the MSTCP32.DEF file is modified, performing any installations from the location of the modified MSTCP32.DEF file causes the installations to have the specified settings. When the user installs the file, they will not be prompted with the Microsoft TCP/IP Configuration dialog box. Setup copies the necessary files and makes the necessary changes to the .INI files; the user then needs to restart their computer. The default contents of the file are:
