A router normally serves as the DHCP server if installed on a local area network
(e.g. DSL router for Internet access). As such, it automatically assigns IP
addresses to all participants that are DHCP clients. The PC automatically receives
the IP addresses and the subnet mask if connected to the router via Ethernet. You
can get the information on the PC:
1.
Select Start > Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Connection.
2 . Select the "Support" tab.
3. Click

.
In the example, the PC is assigned the IP address
192.168.2.199
and subnet mask
192.168.2.1
. The default gateway and DNS server have IP address
192.168.2.1
.
You can use the data to set the web server:
•
IP address: Unused address on the subnet. For example
192.168.2.10
is still
available if the PC uses
192.168.2.199
and the router uses
192.168.2.1
.
•
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
•
Default gateway:
192.168.2.1
•
Preferred DNS server:
192.168.2.1
•
Alternate DNS server: (leer)
•
In the example, the subnet has address
192.168.2.x
. Devices must have the
same subnet address to communicate directly (i.e. without a router).
Notes
•
The web server IP address must be entered manually. The web server cannot
be configured as DHCP client.
•
We recommend using IP addresses from the private range in the home network
(see Section 6.3.1).
