8.1.4.6 Domain Naming System (DNS) Secondary
This IP address represents the address that WebShare uses to respond to secondary DNS queries from your
computer.
The default value is 192.168.0.3.
8.1.4.7 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP is a protocol used to automate the administration of IP addresses within a local area network. A server
provides the IP allocation for computer hosts that are running a DHCP client. This controls the state of the local
WebShare DHCP Server.
The default value is enabled.
8.1.4.8 DHCP Base Address
This is the first address in the block of IP addresses between the ‘base’ and ‘end’ addresses allocated by the
DHCP server.
The default value is 192.168.0.10.
8.1.4.9 DHCP End Address
This is the last address in the block of IP addresses between the ‘base’ and ‘end’ addresses that the DHCP
server allocates.
The default value is 192.168.0.73.
8.1.4.10 Inactivity Timer Timeout
WebShare provides an Inactivity Timer that closes an active PPP session if there has been no traffic through the
WebShare Proxy Router either from or to any user. The timeout value may be adjusted within the LAN
Advanced Configuration window shown in Figure 31 (page 29). For a session to be “always on”, select the
Inactivity Timer Disable option.
The Inactivity Timeout Value determines the length of time a session will remain connected with no data flow
from either direction. The default setting is disabled. To enable, select LAN Advanced from the Management
menu. In the LAN Advanced Configuration window, select the Enable option and enter an Inactivity Timeout time
in minutes. The valid range is from 0 to 9999 minutes. A zero will have the same affect as disabling the timer.
Click the Save button in the dialog box to commit the new account information to the WebShare Proxy Router.
8.1.4.11 Static NAT
Static NAT allows you to designate a LAN shared PC as a server (e.g. for a web page). Enter the IP address of
the designated PC in the Static NAT IP location of the LAN Advanced Configuration Window and click
Enable.
