To Disable The Router’s DHCP Server:
From the
DHCP Server Configuration
screen,
Highlight the
Disable
radio button and click
Next
.
When the DHCP Server is disabled you will need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each computer on
your network, and set the default gateway for each computer to the IP address of the router (by default this is
192.168.1.254).
To Configure The Router’s DHCP Server:
Highlight the
DHCP Server
radio button and
click
Next
.
You can then configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and ending
IP address to be allocated to computers on your network), lease time for each assigned IP address (the period
of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details are
sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your computer) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server.
Click
Apply
to enable this function. If you check “
Use Router as a DNS Server
”, the ADSL Router will perform
the domain name lookup, find the IP address from the outside network automatically and forward it back to the
requesting computer in the LAN (your Local Area Network).
To Configure The Server As a DHCP Relay Agent:
If you check
DHCP Relay Agent
and click
Next
, then you will have to enter the IP address of the DHCP
server which will assign an IP address back to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this function only if advised to
do so by your network administrator or ISP.
