2 . subnet Mask

There is no need to change the subnet mask . This is a unique, advanced

feature of your Belkin Router . It is possible to change the subnet mask

if necessary; however, do NOT make changes to the subnet mask

unless you have a specific reason to do so . The default setting is

“255 .255 .255 .0” .

3 . dHCP server

The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by

assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically .

The default setting is “On” . The DHCP server can be turned OFF if

necessary; however, in order to do so you must manually set a static

IP address for each computer on your network . To turn off the DHCP

server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes” .

4 . IP Pool

The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the

computers on your network . The default is 2–100 (99 computers) . If you

want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting

and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes” . The DHCP

server can assign 100 IP addresses automatically . This means that

you cannot specify an IP address pool larger than 100 computers . For

example, starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not

to exceed the 100-client limit . The starting IP address must be lower in

number than the ending IP address .
