• DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates
domain or website names into Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will
provide you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to use
another, type that IP Address in one of these fields. You can type up to
three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will use these for quicker
access to functioning DNS servers.
• WINS The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC's
interaction with the Internet. If you use a WINS server, enter that server's
IP Address here. Otherwise, left this blank.
• DHCP Clients Table When this button is clicked, a table similar to that
shown in Figure 5-10 appears, displaying a list of PCs assigned IP address-
es by the Router. Click the Refresh button to display the most current
information. If you
wish to delete a
client's IP address,
select that client by
clicking the box to
the right and click
the Delete button.

Log

The Log tab, shown in Figure 5-11, provides you with a log of all incoming and
outgoing URLs or IP addresses for your Internet connection.
To access activity logs, select the Enable option next to "Access Log". This
function can be disabled by clicking the Disable radio button.
With logging Enabled, you can choose to view temporary logs or have a per-
manent record, using the Logviewer software. Temporary logs can be accessed
from the Log tab by clicking either the Incoming Access Log or Outgoing
Access Log buttons. The Incoming Access Log gives you a log of all the
incoming Internet traffic while the Outgoing Access Log lists all the URLs and
IP addresses of Internet sites that users on your network have accessed.

For a permanent record of these logs, Logviewer software must be used. This
software is downloadable from the Linksys website at www.linksys.com. The
Logviewer saves all incoming and outgoing activity as a permanent file on your
PC's hard drive. Next to "Send Log to", enter the fixed IP address of the PC
running the Logviewer software. The Router will now send updated logs to that
PC.
