D-Link DHP-1565 User Manual
Section 3 - Configuration
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DHP-1565 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address
to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP
Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DHP-1565. The
DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting
and ending address of the IP address pool.
Check this box to enable the DHCP server on your router.
Uncheck to disable this function.
Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the DHCP server’s
IP assignment.
Note:
If you statically (manually) assign IP addresses to your
computers or devices, make sure the IP addresses are outside of
this range or you may have an IP conflict.
The length of time for the IP address lease. Enter the Lease time
in minutes.

This is an advance setting and is normally left blank. This allows the configuration of NetBIOS domain name under which network
hosts operate. This setting has no effect if the “ Learn NetBIOS information form WAN is activated.
