A DHCP server is not required. However, SimpleTech
strongly recommends using a DHCP server to assign IP
addresses to the devices on your network. Otherwise,
depending on how your network is configured, you may
have to manually setup the computers on your network to
talk to SimpleShare. For detailed information on using a
DHCP server, see
