IP addresses for your Internet connection. The Logviewer keeps track of all
incoming and outgoing activity that can be saved in a text file. The IPaddress
points to the location where Logviewer is running.
Outgoing Access Log lists all the URLS or IP addresses of Internet sites that
users on your network have accessed, and Incoming Access Log gives you a log
of all incoming Internet traffic.
This data can also be accessed by other network users if the file is shared out.

• DHCP Server DHCP is already enabled by factory default. If you already
have a DHCP server on your network, set the Router's DHCP option to
Disable and click the Applybutton, then the Continue button. If you dis-

• Starting IP Address Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when
