Address
Use this field only if you want to assign a
specific IP address to a specific computer (that
is, you are creating an exception to the
dynamic assignment of addresses). The IP
address you specify will be assigned to the
computer that corresponds to this MAC
address. (A MAC address is a manufacturer-
assigned hardware ID that is unique for each
device on a network.) If you type a MAC
address here, you must have specified the
same IP address in both the Start IP Address
and End IP Address fields.

Net Mask
Specifies which portion of each IP address in
this range refers to the network and which
portion refers to the host (computer). For a
description of network masks and LAN
network masks, see Appendix A. You can use
the network mask to distinguish which pool of
addresses should be distributed to a particular
subset of computers on your LAN (called a
subnet).
