can be used on the network. When a client wants to access the network,
the DHPC server checks its list, and gives the client an IP address that is
not in use by another client.
You can have only one DHCP server on your network.
To configure the internal DHCP server in the Access Point:
1. Go to the DHCP server page.
2. Select the Enable DHCP radio button to start the DHCP server.
3. In the Subnet Min and Subnet Max edit boxes, enter IP
addresses: these are the upper and lower bounds of the DHCP
range. If default values have been supplied, you can use these.
The DHCP range must be in the same subnet as the Access Point' s own
LAN address.
4. In the Gateway Address edit box, enter the LAN IP address of the
Access Point.
5. Click Apply.
6. Go to the Network Setup page, and edit these LAN Settings:
7. Set the LAN address to Static.
8. Make sure the IP address is in the range of the DHCP server.
9. Click Apply. You may lose the network connection to the Access Point. If
that happens, reboot your computer.
Optionally, you can add reservations. A reservation is an IP address that will
always be used by the same computer (identified by MAC address).
To add a reservation:
1. Go to the DHCP server page.
2. Click Add. A new window opens.
3. In the MAC address edit box, enter the MAC address of the computer
you want to reserve an address for.
4. In the IP address to reserve edit box, enter the IP address you want to
reserve for that computer.
5. Click OK. The reservation is added to the list.

you need to connect them to each other. You can do this in two ways:
