The following table describes the fields in this screen.
		Table 5-1 LAN : IP
	LABEL	DESCRIPTION
	DHCP Server	DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows
		individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup from a
		server. Leave the DHCP Server check box selected unless your ISP instructs you
		to do otherwise. Clear it to disable the HomeSafe acting as a DHCP server. When
		configured as a server, the HomeSafe provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients.
		If not, DHCP service is disabled and you must have another DHCP server on your
		LAN, or else the computers must be manually configured. When set as a server, fill
		in the following four fields.
	IP Pool Starting	This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
	Address
	Pool Size	This field specifies the size, or count of the IP address pool.

DNS Servers Assigned by DHCP Server

The HomeSafe passes a DNS (Domain Name System) server IP address (in the order you specify here) to the DHCP clients. The HomeSafe only passes this information to the LAN DHCP clients when you select the DHCP Server check box. When you clear the DHCP Server check box, DHCP service is disabled and you must have another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must have their DNS server addresses manually configured.
