Open the properties of the LAN connection on the
connected computers by selecting
Settings > Control Panel > Network and Dial-up
Connections. Click with the right mouse button on
the corresponding LAN connection and select
'Properties'.

Click the entry for the TCP/IP protocol of the
network adaptor and on Properties. Enable the
option 'Obtain an IP address automatically'. You
can ignore all other options: they either remain
empty or retain their default settings. Close the
dialogs with OK.

If you use a router for Internet access, you will still
need to configure it, because the router dials into
the Internet, not the computer. Under
Settings
Dial-up Connections, and enable the 'Never dial a
connection' option. Close the dialogs with OK.
If you cannot find an entry similar to 'TCP/IP' or
'TCP/IP -> Network Adapter Name' or 'Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)', you must install the TCP/IP
protocol. Under Install select 'Protocol' and click
Add. In the next dialog box select 'Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP)' and confirm with OK.
