Table 4-3DHCP Server Tab Fields

Field or Button	Description
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).

DHCP Ending IP Address	Sets the final IP address assigned by the
	DHCP server. If the DHCP server runs out
	of DHCP addresses, users cannot access
	network resources. If this happens,
	increase the Ending IP (to the limit of 254)
	or reduce the Lease Time.

DHCP Lease Time	Sets the time, in seconds, that a network
	computer remains connected to the
	gateway using its current assigned IP
	address. At the end of this time, the DHCP
	server renews the lease or assigns the
	computer a new IP address. The default is
	1 hour. The maximum is about 278 hours.

Be sure to click the Apply button once you have made changes.
