DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows
individual clients (computers) to obtain TCP/IP configuration at startup from a
server. Unless you are instructed by your ISP, leave the DHCP check box
selected. Clear it to stop the ZyWALL from acting as a DHCP server. When
configured as a server, the ZyWALL provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients.

your LAN, or else the computers must be manually configured. When set as a
server, fill in the rest of the DHCP setup fields.
