DHCP
On the DHCP page, you can set your NAT/Firewall Gateway as a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, and DHCP servers will
automatically assign IP addresses to all the client PCs in your network.
Notes
If you want to enable DHCP, make sure that there is not
already a DHCP server on your router.
If you don’t enable DHCP on your router, you will need to
manually configure an IP address for each PC in your
network; if you do enable DHCP, make sure that each PC is
configured to receive an IP address automatically.
What do you want to do then?
