DHCP client devices on the LAN.
Figure 57 DHCP Setup
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Active Select the Active check box to enable the Any IP feature. This allows a computer
to access the Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address
and subnet mask) of the computer, even when the IP addresses of the computer
and the P-660HWP-Dx are not in the same subnet.
When you disable the Any IP feature, only computers with dynamic IP addresses or
static IP addresses in the same subnet as the P-660HWP-Dx’s LAN IP address can
connect to the P-660HWP-Dx or access the Internet through the P-660HWP-Dx.

Networking
(NetBIOS over
TCP/IP)
NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) are TCP or UDP packets that
enable a computer to connect to and communicate with a LAN. For some dial-up
services such as PPPoE or PPTP, NetBIOS packets cause unwanted calls.
However it may sometimes be necessary to allow NetBIOS packets to pass
through to the WAN in order to find a computer on the WAN.
Allow between
LAN and WAN
Select this check box to forward NetBIOS packets from the LAN to the WAN and
from the WAN to the LAN. If your firewall is enabled with the default policy set to
block WAN to LAN traffic, you also need to enable the default WAN to LAN firewall
rule that forwards NetBIOS traffic.
Clear this check box to block all NetBIOS packets going from the LAN to the WAN
and from the WAN to the LAN.
