In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, what must you do to ensure that TCP/IP is bound to the network card or modem?

Depending on what connection you opt for in the network connection wizard, you will have a list of protocols available for configuration. Should you go the route connecting to the internet by dial-up, you will have the modem be (properly) configured and TCP/IP activated for it.
Either way you approach the configurations, Tcp/IP is most likely amongst them and used as the default connection protocol. If not, you may have some trouble, but it is uncommon (and I am not a Windows fan at all).
This setup is different from NT which required binding.

Nothing really, it's bound automatically when you add the TCP/IP protocol. If you add another NIC and already have installed the TCP/IP protocol, the NIC will automatically be bound to TCP/IP.
You can ping "localhost" to verify that everything is working properly. You can also open Network Settings and click on Advanced...Advanced Settings to see the actual bindings.
