Start IP Address Enter a value for the DHCP server to
start with when is
suing IP addresses. Because the Valet’s
default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the Start IP Address must
be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.253.
The default Starting IP Address is 192.168.1.100
.
Maximum Number of Users Enter the maximum
number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign
IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253.
The default is 50.
IP Address Range Displayed here is the range of available
IP addresses.
Client Lease Time Client Lease Time is the amount of
time that a device will be “leased” a dynamic IP address.
After the time is up, the user will be automatically assigned
a new dynamic IP address, or the lease will be renewed
with the same IP address. The default is 0 minutes, which
means one day.
Static DNS 1-3
The Domain Name System (DNS) is how
the Internet translates domain or website names into
Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at
least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to use another,
enter that IP Address in one of these fields. You can enter
up to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Valet will use
these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers
.
WINS The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
manages each PC’s interaction with the Internet. If you
use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP Address here.
Otherwise, leave this blank.

Setup > DDNS
The Valet offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)
feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain
name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when
you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other
server behind the Valet.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign
up for DDNS service with a DDNS service provider,
www.dyndns.org or www.TZO.com. If you do not want
to use this feature, keep the default setting, Disabled.
DDNS
DDNS Service
If your DDNS service is provided by DynDNS.org, then
select DynDNS.org from the drop-down menu. If your
DDNS service is provided by TZO, then select TZO.com.
The features available on the DDNS screen will vary,
depending on which DDNS service provider you use.
