Configuring DHCP Relay

First, you must configure your PCs to accept DHCP information assigned by a DHCP server:

1.Open the Windows [Control Panel] and display the computer's [Networking properties]. Configure the TCP/IP properties

to [Obtain an IP address automatically] (the actual text may vary depending on your operating system). For detailed instructions, see Quick Start, Configuring Your Computers on page 9 Next, specify the IP address of the DHCP server and select the interfaces on your network that will be using the relay service.

2.Log into the Configuration Manager, click the [LAN] tab. Then click [DHCP Relay] in the task bar. The [Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Relay Configuration] page appears:

3.In the [DHCP Server Address] fields, type the IP address

of your ISP's DHCP server. If you do not have this number, it is not essential to enter it here. Requests for IP information from your LAN will be passed to the default gateway, which should route the request appropriately.
