DHCP CLIENT NETWORK SETUP

DHCP client is the default IP addressing protocol set on SimpleShare. In this mode, SimpleShare receives its IP address and subnet mask, along with other networking configuration information, from the DHCP server on the network. Since most home gateways and routers use the DHCP protocol to assign IP addresses to the computers and other devices on the network, this is the easiest way to manage IP addressing.

1Click the Networking menu.

2From the LAN Protocol list, choose DHCP Client.

3To enable SimpleShare auto configuration, select Enabled from the LAN IP Autoconfiguration list.

LAN IP Autoconfiguration makes it possible for SimpleShare to configure itself on your IP network automatically, when a DHCP server is not available. Autoconfiguration provides “zero configuration” for SimpleShare by automatically discovering devices on the network and assigning an IP address to SimpleShare without user intervention.

4 Click Apply .
