DHCP

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server automatically assigns
IP addresses to each computer on your network. Unless you already have one,
it is highly recommended that the Router be set up as a DHCP server.
• DHCP Server Check the Enable option to enable the DHCP server option
of the Router. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, set the
Router's DHCP option to Disable.
• Starting IP Address Enter a numerical value for the DHCP server to start
with when issuing IP addresses. Do not start with the IP address of the
Router: 192.168.1.1.
• Number of DHCP users Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want
the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to, with the absolute maximum
being 253.
• DHCP Client Table Click on the Client Table button to show the current
DHCP Client information. (This information is stored in temporary memo-
ry, so the list of clients could disappear.)
• When finished, click the Apply button and then the Continue button.

Log

Figure 6-16
The Log feature provides you with a log of all incoming and outgoing URLs or
IP addresses for your Internet connection. The Logviewer keeps track of all
incoming and outgoing activity that can be saved in a text file. The IP address
points to the location where Logviewer is running.
The Outgoing Access Log lists all the URLs or IP addresses of Internet sites
that users on your network have accessed, and the Incoming Access Log gives
you a log of all incoming Internet traffic.
This data can also be accessed by other network users if the file is shared.
• Access Log To activate logging, click the Enable button.
• Send Log to Enter in the IP address of the PC that you want to send the log
to (where your PC is running Logviewer). Make sure that this PC is using
a static IP address. Click the Apply button and then the Continue button
when you're done. You may download the Logview software at
www.linksys.com.
• Click on Outgoing Access Log or Incoming Access Log to view each log.
• To disable Logging, click on Disable in the Log window, and then click the
Apply button and the Continue button.
