Using the Web-based advanced User interface

5. lease time
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the iP address for each

computer� We recommend that you leave the lease time set to “Forever”�

The default setting is “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer is

assigned an iP address by the DHCP server, the iP address will not

change for that particular computer� setting lease times for shorter

intervals such as one day or one hour frees iP addresses after the

specified period of time� This also means that a particular computer’s

iP address may change over time� if you have set any of the other

advanced features of the router such as DMZ or client iP filters, these

are dependent on the iP address� For this reason, you will not want the iP

address to change�

6. local Domain name
The default setting is “Belkin”� You can set a local domain name (network

name) for your network� There is no need to change this setting unless

you have a specific advanced need to do so� You can name the network

anything you want such as “MY NeTWOrK”�

Viewing the DHCP Client List Page

You can view a list of the computers (known as clients), which are

connected to your network� You are able to view the iP address of the

computer, the host name (if the computer has been assigned one), and

the MAC address of the computer’s network interface card (NiC)� Pressing

the “refresh” button will update the list� if there have been any changes,

the list will be updated�
