Optional Settings (Required by some ISPs)
• Host Name and Domain Name. These fields allow you to supply a host and domain name for the Gateway.
Some ISPs require these names as identification. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your
broadband Internet service has been configured with a host and domain name. In most cases, leaving these
fields blank will work.
Network Setup
• Gateway IP. The value for the Gateway's Local IP Address are shown here.
• Network Address Server Settings (DHCP). A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server automatically
assigns an IP address to each computer on your network for you. Unless you already have one, it is highly
recommended that you leave the Gateway enabled as a DHCP server.
• Local DHCP Server. If you enable the DHCP Server for the Local DHCP server, enter the IP address for the
DHCP server in the fields provided.
• Start IP Address. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. This value
must be 192.168.0.2 or greater, because the default IP address for the Gateway is 192.168.0.1.
• Number of Address. Enter the maximum number of computers that you want the DHCP server to assign IP
addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253. By default, the range is 192.168.0.10 to
192.168.0.254.
• IP Address Range. The range of DHCP addresses is displayed here.
