Note 

 

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 the Quick Start chapter, “Part 2 — 
Configuring Your Computers.” 

Next, you define the pools of IP addresses you want to make 
available for distribution to your computers. These addresses can 
be multiple public addresses that you have purchased from your 
ISP, but are typically private addresses that you create. (LAN 
administrators often create private IP addresses for use only on 
their networks. See “Overview of NAT” on page 59.) 

2.  Launch Configuration Manager, click 

 in the 

LAN tab. 

The DHCP Server Configuration page displays: 

 

 

Each pool you create displays in a row on the table on this 
page.  

You can create up to eight pools; however, most users will 
need to create only one for their LAN. Some users many want 
to create another that distributes an IP address to their USB 
computer, which must be in a different subnet than the LAN 
computers. 

3.  To add an IP address pool, click
