Not sure why you would have trouble, networking is one thing that MS
does easily. Most routers have a DHCP servers and Window's default setup
is for dynamically assigned IP. Basically all you have to do is connect
the Ethernet card to the switch port on the router and you connected,
even for old Win95-98. If you originally had a dialup connection on the
box you can either delete the connectoid in Dialup Networking or in
Internet Options under Connections select option "Never dial a
connection" to prevent routing to your dialup connection.
