WinXP and cable routers??

[krazykilroy]

I do know that with winXP, normally it picks it up immediately, but for routing purposes, does that hold true still??

I have a cable router, with three computers that I would like to hook it up to. Two systems have WinXP, and one is ME. Is it necessary to designate IP addresses and subnet masks within the TCP/IP settings??

Especially since I have gone through the WinXP network setup wizard???

Yes it is true that it will pick it up, do you have DHCP enabled on your router? Do you know that your router is properly working (aka its just windows fault?)
