Address
DNS is an Internet service that translates domain names into
IP addresses. If your WAN connection uses Static IP, you
should configure the primary and secondary DNS IP
addresses with the DNS information provided by your
Broadband Internet Service Provider. For other WAN
connection types, the DNS IP addresses are automatically
obtained from the ISP. The “Always use these DNS servers:”
checkbox can be used to disable the automatic process, and
your preferred DNS IP addresses can be used.
DHCP Server
DHCP server dynamically assigns IP addresses to the PCs
connected in the same network. DHCP comes with a built-in
DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses, DNS
and Gateway information to the computers connected in the
same network. It has been pre-configured with IP address and
Subnet Mask of 192.168.100.128 and 255.255.255.0
respectively.
