LAN Setup

DHCP Configuration

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Your NB4 has it's DHCP Server
enabled by default this means it will assign valid IP addresses to each computer connected to it
and will direct those computers to use the NB4 as the gateway to the internet. Having the
DHCP server enabled is the recommended choice.
If you disable the DHCP server in the NB4 you will need to either manually (statically) assign
IP address information to each computer or use another device/computer as DHCP server.
Note: It is not recommended that you have more than one DHCP server enabled on
your network.
