Netopia 2200 manual

•Static Client Address Translation: If you check this checkbox, this feature allows a statically addressed computer whose IP address falls outside of the LAN subnet(s) to simply plug in and get online without any manual configuration on either the host or the Netopia Gateway. If enabled, statically addressed LAN hosts that have an address out- side of LAN subnets will be able to communicate via the Router’s WAN interface to the Internet. Supported static IP address values must fall outside of the Router's LAN sub- net(s).

•DHCP Server: Your Gateway can provide network configuration information to computers on your LAN, using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

If you already have a DHCP server on your

LAN, you should turn this service off.

If you want the Gateway to provide this ser- vice, click the Server Mode pull-down menu, choose Server, then configure the range of IP addresses that you would like the Gateway to hand out to your computers.

You can also specify the length of time the computers can use the configuration informa- tion; DHCP calls this period the lease time.

Your Service Provider may, for certain services, want to provide configuration from its DHCP servers to the computers on your LANs. In this case, the Gateway will relay the DHCP requests from your computers to a DHCP server in the Service Provider's network. Click the relay-agent and enter the IP address of the Service Provider's DHCP server in the Server Address field. This address is furnished by the Service Provider.

☛NOTE:

The Relay-agentoption only works when NAT is off and the Gateway is in router mode.
