Chapter 3. Configuring DHCP for Macintosh
Computers
In this chapter you’ll be configuring each computer in your network to automati-
cally receive its IP network address from the router. The router functions as a
DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server for up to 253 network de-
vices on your LAN.
Note:
Please refer to Chapter 4 to configure Microsoft Windows computers.
Tip
: Before changing your TCP/IP network settings, record the settings on a
separate piece of paper. If you have one computer directly connected to a cable
or DSL modem service, be sure to fill out the appropriate table on page 3 or 4 in
the Quick Start Guide.
