I currently own an IBM Think pad i-1300, running windows XP proffessional.
I was wondering if it is possible to Dual boot Mac OS X and Windows XP on the same machine by partitioning the hard drives without any system errors.

No. Mac OS X doesn't run on x86 hardware.

You could run XP on a Mac using Virtual PC. In which case you can run several systems at once (limited by available memory), as shown in 'Can Your Dell Do This???': http://www.osxfaq.com/Editorial/dull_dell/

Of course, why would you want to run OS X anyway? The only reason Virtual PC exists is that Mac users can't exist without Windows. =P
Summary: I have MAC OS X and how do I setup under TCP/IP tab in Network to make DHCP an option instead of PPP or configure manually? DHCP doesn't show up as an option. ...
