Wireless ADSL Router User Guide • The TEW-435BRM can act as a DHCP server. • Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP client. This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP Client". • You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on your LAN.) Using the TEW-435BRM's DHCP Server This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen, you can: • Enable or Disable the TEW-435BRM's DHCP Server function. • Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function. You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server. Using another DHCP Server You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP Server, rather than the TEW-435BRM's, the following procedure is required. 1. Disable the DHCP Server feature in the TEW-435BRM. This setting is on the LAN screen. 2. Configure the DHCP Server to provide the TEW-435BRM's IP Address as the Default Gateway. To Configure your PCs to use DHCP This is the default setting for TCP/IP for all non-Server versions of Windows. See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settings. 14
