IP Address Distribution The 'IP Address Distribution' section allows you to con-
figure the gateway's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server parame-
ters. The DHCP automatically assigns IP addresses to network PCs. If you enable
this feature, make sure that you also configure your network PCs as DHCP clients.
For a comprehensive description of this feature, please refer to Section 8.6.2. Se-
lect one of the following options from the 'IP Address Distribution' combo-box:
 DHCP Server
Start IP Address The first IP address that may be assigned to a LAN
host. Since the gateway's default IP address is 192.168.1.1, this address must
be 192.168.1.2 or greater.
End IP Address The last IP address in the range that can be used to
automatically assign IP addresses to LAN hosts.
