Netopia 2200 - Manual (Page 52)

• 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 inter face to the
Internet. Suppor ted 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).
If you already have a DHCP ser ver on your
LAN, you should turn this ser vice off.
If you want the Gateway to provide this ser-
vice, click the
Server Mode pull-down menu,
choose Server, then configure the range of IP
addresses that you would like the Gateway to
hand out to your computers.
You can also specify the length of time the computers can use the configuration informa-
tion; DHCP calls this period the lease time.
Your Ser vice Provider may, for cer tain ser vices, want to provide configuration from its
DHCP ser vers to the computers on your LANs. In this case, the Gateway will relay the
DHCP requests from your computers to a DHCP ser ver in the Ser vice Provider's network.
Click the relay-agent and enter the IP address of the Ser vice Provider's DHCP ser ver in the
Ser ver Address field. This address is furnished by the Ser vice Provider.
☛
NOTE:
The Relay-agent option only works when NAT is off and the Gateway is in
router mode.
