If it is set to Server, your Prestige can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to Windows 98, Windows 2000 and other systems that support the DHCP client. If set to None, the DHCP server will be disabled. If set to Relay, the Prestige acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP server in the Remote DHCP Server in this case.

When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set:

This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.

If Relay is selected in the DHCP= field above, then enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP server here.
