Instant Broadband® Series

Number of DHCP Users (Optional) Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253. In order to determine the DHCP IP Address range, add the starting IP address (e.g., 100) to the number of DHCP users. By default, as shown in Figure 7-28, add 100 to 50, and the range is 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149.

Client Lease Time The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased” this dynamic IP address.

DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain or website names into Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to use another, type that IP Address in one of these fields. You can type up to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will use these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers. Otherwise, leave this blank.

WINS The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC’s interaction with the Internet. If you use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP Address here. Otherwise, leave this blank.

DHCP Clients Table Click the DHCP Clients Table button to show the cur- rent DHCP Client data. (This data is stored in temporary memory and changes periodically.)

To apply any of the settings you change on a page, click the Apply button, and then click the Continue button. To cancel any values you’ve entered on any page, click the Cancel button.

Log

Figure 7-29

The Log tab, shown in Figure 7-29, provides you with a log of all incoming and outgoing URLs or IP addresses for your Internet connection.

To access activity logs, select the Enable option next to Log. This function can be disabled by clicking the Disable radio button.

With logging enabled, you can choose to view temporary logs or have a per- manent record, using the Logviewer software. Temporary logs can be accessed from the Log screen by clicking either the Incoming Access Log or Outgoing Access Log button. The Incoming Access Log gives you a log of all the incom- ing Internet traffic while the Outgoing Access Log lists all the URLs and IP addresses of Internet sites that users on your network have accessed.

For a permanent record of these logs, Logviewer software must be used. This software is downloadable from the Linksys website, www.linksys.com. The Logviewer saves all incoming and outgoing activity as a permanent file on your PC’s hard drive. In the Send Log to field, enter the fixed IP address of the PC running the Logviewer software. The Router will now send updated logs to that PC.

Click the View Logs button for a selection of logs to view (see Figure 7-30).
