Server IP
address:
Configure the IP address of the preferred WINS server. WINS Servers store information regarding network hosts, allowing hosts to ‘register’ themselves
as well as discover other available hosts, e.g. for use in Network Neighborhood. This setting has no effect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information from WAN’
is activated.
Secondary
WINS Server IP
address:
Configure the IP address of the backup WINS server, if any. This setting has no effect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information from WAN’ is activated.
The following parameters will be available for configuration:

device. This IP Address must be within the DHCP IP Address
Range.

DHCP Reservations List
This shows clients that you have specified to have reserved DHCP addresses. An
entry can be changed by clicking the Edit icon, or deleted by clicking the Delete icon.
When you click the Edit icon, the item is highlighted, and the ‘Edit DHCP Reservation’
section is activated for editing.
Number of Dynamic DHCP Clients
In this section you can see what LAN devices are currently leasing IP addresses.
Add/Edit DHCP Reservation
This option lets you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to the network device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This is
almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP address from the D-Link router. The D-Link router will provide the device
the same IP address every time. DHCP Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your
network should either use a static IP address or use this option.
