❑ Client For Microsoft Networks Allows your computer to access network
resources.
❑ File And Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks Allows other computers
to access file and print resources on your computer.
❑ QoS Packet Scheduler Helps provide a guaranteed delivery system for network
traffic, such as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/
IP) packets.
❑ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Allows your computer to communicate over
local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). TCP/IP is the
default networking protocol.
Note You can install other clients, services, and network protocols during the Windows XP
Professional installation; or you can wait until after the installation has completed. You will
learn more about networking with TCP/IP in Chapter 13, “Supporting TCP/IP.”
3. Join a workgroup or domain.
If you choose to join a domain for which you have sufficient privileges, you can
create the computer account during installation. The Setup Wizard prompts you
for the name and password of a user account with authority to add domain computer
accounts.
Note To change the domain or workgroup for your computer after you have installed Windows
XP Professional, click Start, click My Computer, click View System Information, click the
Computer Name tab, and then click Change.
4. Install components.
The Setup Wizard installs and configures the Windows networking components
you selected.
How the Installation Is Completed
After installing the networking components, the Setup Wizard automatically starts the
final step in the installation process. (See Figure 2-6.)
