	Field or Button	Description
	Enable DHCP Server	If selected, the DHCP server on the
		gateway assigns IP addresses to the
		computers and other hosts on your
		network if they have DHCP enabled. By
		default, the gateway server is enabled. If
		there is another DHCP server running on
		your network (on another router), disable
		one of the DHCP servers.
	DHCP Server IP Address	Enter the default port forwarding LAN
		Client IP Address.
	DHCP Starting IP Address	Sets the first IP address assigned by the
		DHCP server, in dotted-decimal format. It
		must be greater than the IP address value
		of the gateway. For example, if the IP
		address of the gateway is 192.168.15.1
		(default), the starting IP address must be
		192.168.15.2 (or higher).
