Table
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), you |
| must disable one of the DHCP servers. |
| If not selected, you must carefully |
| configure the IP address, Subnet Mask, |
| and DNS settings of every host on your |
| network. Do not assign the same IP |
| address to more than one host. Your |
| gateway must be on the same subnet as |
| the other hosts. |
