3.7.1 PC Database
PC Database : This is the list of PCs shown when you select the "DMZ PC" or a "Virtual Server". This
database is maintained automatically, but you can add and delete entries for PCs which use a Fixed
(Static) IP Address.
The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC).
It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses.
Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN.
However, if you do use a fixed IP address on some devices on your LAN, you should enter details of
each such device into the PC database, using the PC Database screen.
PCs which are "DHCP Clients" are automatically added to the database, and updated as required.
By default, non-Server versions of Windows act as "DHCP Clients"; this setting is called "Obtain an IP
Address automatically".
The Wireless Broadband Router uses the "Hardware Address" to identify each PC, not the name or IP
address. The "Hardware Address" can only change if you change the PC's network card or adapter.
