Optional Settings
Host Name and Doman Name
to supply a host and domain name for the Gateway.
Some ISPs, usually cable ISPs, require these names as
identification. You may have to check with your ISP to see
if your broadband Internet service has been configured
with a host and domain name. In most cases, leaving these
fields blank will work.
MTU MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies
the largest packet size permitted for Internet transmission.
Select Manual if you want to manually enter the largest
packet size that is transmitted. To have the Gateway select
the best MTU for your Internet connection, keep the
default, Auto.
Sze When Manual is selected in the MTU field, this option
is enabled. Leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range. The
default, MTU is configured automatically.

Subnet Mask The default value is 2.2.2.0.
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
The settings allow you to configure the Gateway's Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server function. The
Gateway can be used as a DHCP server for your network.
A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each
computer on your network. If you choose to enable the
Gateway's DHCP server option, make sure there is no
other DHCP server on your network.
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
DHCP Server A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server automatically assigns an IP address to each
computer on your network for you. Unless you already
have one, Linksys recommends that you keep the default,
Enable. You can also use the Gateway in DHCP Relay
mode. (This setting is not available for all encapsulation
types.)
DHCP Server If you enable the DHCP Relay mode for the
DHCP Server setting, enter the IP address for the DHCP
relay server in the fields provided. (This setting is not
available for all encapsulation types.)
Startng IP Address
Enter a value for the DHCP server
to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the
Gateway's default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the Starting IP
Address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than
192.168.1.253. The default is 192.18.1.100.
Maxmum Number of DHCP Users

address. The number will vary depending on the starting
IP address entered and cannot be greater than 253. The
default is 0.
Clent Lease Tme The Client Lease Time is the amount
of time a network device will be allowed connection to
the Gateway with its current dynamic IP address. Enter the
number of minutes that the device will be "leased" this
dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the device will
be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The
default is 0 minutes, which means one day.
