Allow Setup to assign or obtain an IP address

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To allow Setup to assign or obtain an IP address

During Setup, in the Networking Settings dialog box, click Typical settings.

Notes

When you click Typical settings in the Networking Settings dialog box, Setup checks to see if there is a DHCP server on your network. If there is a DHCP server on your network, DHCP provides an IP address. If there is no DHCP server on your network, Setup will use a limited IP addressing option called Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). On a server using APIPA, complete the network configuration after Setup, because a server using APIPA can communicate only with other computers using APIPA on the same network segment.
For information about configuring automatic IP addressing after Setup, see Related Topics.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
