Configuring Computers for TCP/IP
At a Windows 2000 or Windows XP installation, each B.A.S.I.S. computer must
be configured for the TCP/IP network protocol prior to installation of the
B.A.S.I.S. software. Even on a computer that is not connected to a network, a
network board must be installed and the TCP/IP protocol must be configured.
Each computer must be given a fixed TCP/IP address. B.A.S.I.S. requires the
TCP/IP protocol on all its workstations.
