3.2.6 DHCP: 
Use the DHCP screen to set up your gateway as a Dynamic Host Configuration 
Protocol (DHCP) server. DHCP servers automatically assign IP addresses to all the 
clients on your network.   
 
 
DHCP Server   
If you choose to enable DHCP, make sure there is not already a DHCP server on your 
network.  
If you don't enable DHCP, you'll need to manually configure an IP address for each computer on 
your network. If you do enable DHCP, make sure that each computer is configured to retrieve an IP 
address automatically.   
IP Pool Starting Address/IP Pool Ending Address: 
Specify the IP Pool Starting Address to designate the first IP address that can be 
assigned to a computer on the network. Similarly, specify the IP Pool Ending 
Address to designate the last IP address that can be assigned.
