DHCP Client

IP Address

This field allows you to enable or disable the print server's ability to get its IP address from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. When disabled, you can provide a fixed IP address in the following fields. If DHCP client is enabled, the fields that follow are not used.

This IP address is assigned to the print server. If you have a private LAN and do not plan to connect to the TCP/IP based internet, NETGEAR recommends that you use the address from the IETF-designated private addresses (for example, 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x).

	a network with a NETGEAR router, the default subnet mask is usually 255.255.255.0.
