Static Client Address Translation: If you check this checkbox, this feature allows a
•
statically addressed computer whose IP address falls outside of the LAN subnet(s) to
simply plug in and get online without any manual configuration on either the host or the
Netopia Gateway. If enabled, statically addressed LAN hosts that have an address out-
side of LAN subnets will be able to communicate via the Router's WAN interface to the
Internet. Supported static IP address values must fall outside of the Router's LAN sub-
net(s).
• DHCP Server: Your Gateway can provide network configuration information to computers
on your LAN, using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
You can also specify the length of time the computers can use the configuration informa-
tion; DHCP calls this period the lease time.
Your Service Provider may, for certain services, want to provide configuration from its
DHCP servers to the computers on your LANs. In this case, the Gateway will relay the
DHCP requests from your computers to a DHCP server in the Service Provider's network.
Click the relay-agent and enter the IP address of the Service Provider's DHCP server in the
Server Address field. This address is furnished by the Service Provider.

The Relay-agent option only works when NAT is off and the Gateway is in
router mode.
If you already have a DHCP server on your
LAN, you should turn this service off.
If you want the Gateway to provide this ser-
