3.2.6 DHCP:
Use the DHCP screen to set up your gateway as a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server. DHCP servers automatically assign IP addresses to all the
clients on your network.
DHCP Server
If you choose to enable DHCP, make sure there is not already a DHCP server on your
network.
If you don't enable DHCP, you'll need to manually configure an IP address for each computer on
your network. If you do enable DHCP, make sure that each computer is configured to retrieve an IP
address automatically.
IP Pool Starting Address/IP Pool Ending Address:
Specify the IP Pool Starting Address to designate the first IP address that can be
assigned to a computer on the network. Similarly, specify the IP Pool Ending
Address to designate the last IP address that can be assigned.
