DHCP

Windows has detected that DHCP is installed on this server. Use the Create Scope wizard to define one or more scopes of IP addresses for TCP/IP clients.

scopes
A range of IP addresses that are available to be leased or assigned to DHCP clients by the DHCP service.
IP addresses
Used to identify a node on a network and to specify routing information. Each node on the network must be assigned a unique IP address, which is made up of the network ID, plus a unique host ID assigned by the network administrator. This address is typically represented in dotted-decimal notation, with the decimal value of each octet separated by a period (for example, 138.57.7.27).
TCP/IP
A set of networking protocols that provides communications across interconnected networks made up of computers with diverse hardware architectures and various operating systems. TCP/IP includes standards for how computers communicate and conventions for connecting networks and routing traffic. TCP/IP is also called Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.

Caution
Do not proceed if another server on your network is already running DHCP.
