D-Link DI-624S manual Home LAN, Local Domain Name, DNS Relay

Using the Configuration Menu (continued)

Home > LAN

LAN is short for Local Area Network. This is considered your internal network. These are the IP settings of the LAN interface for the DI-624S and may be referred to as Private settings. You may change the LAN IP address if needed. The LAN IP address is private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet.

IP Address	The IP address of the LAN interface. The default IP address is
	192.168.0.1.
Subnet Mask	The subnet mask of the LAN interface. The default subnet mask is
	255.255.255.0.
Local Domain Name	This entry is for the local Domain set on your network, if you have
	given it a name previously. This field is for your personal use and
	unnecessary for proper configuration of this window.
DNS Relay	The Router can be configured to relay DNS from your ISP or another
	available service to workstations on your LAN. When using DNS relay,
	the Router will accept DNS requests from hosts on the LAN and
	forward them to the ISP (or alternative) DNS servers. DNS relay can
	use auto discovery or the DNS IP address can be manually entered by
	the user. Alternatively, you may also disable the DNS relay and
	configure hosts on your LAN to use DNS servers directly. Most users
	who are using the Router for DHCP service on the LAN and are using
	DNS servers on the ISP’s network, will leave DNS relay enabled
	(either auto discovery or user configured).
