The Log feature provides you with a log of all incoming and outgoing URLs or
IP addresses for your Internet connection. The Logviewer keeps track of all
incoming and outgoing activity that can be saved in a text file. The IP address
points to the location where Logviewer is running.
The Outgoing Access Log lists all the URLS or IP addresses of Internet sites
that users on your network have accessed, and the Incoming Access Log gives
you a log of all incoming Internet traffic.
This data can also be accessed by other network users if the file is shared out.
1. To activate logging, select Enable next to Access Log.
2. The log will be sent to one PC. Enter the PC’s IP address in the Sent Log
to: field. Make sure that this PC is using a static IP address. This ensures that
the Log information does not go to another computer with a dynamic IP
address. Click the Apply button and then the Continue button when you’re
done. You may download the Logviewer software at www.linksys.com for
more information.
3. Click on Outgoing Access Log or Incoming Access Log to view each log.
4. To disable Logging, select Disable in the Log window. Click the Apply but-
ton and then the Continue button.

• Starting IP Address Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when
issuing IP addresses. This value must be (192.168.1. 2) or greater, because
the default IP address for your Router is 192.168.1.1.
• Number of DHCP Users (Optional) Enter the maximum number of PCs
that you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. This number can-
not be greater than 253. In order to determine the DHCP IP Address range,
add the starting IP address (e.g. 100) to the number of DHCP users. By
default as shown, add 100 to 50, and the range is 192.168.1.100 to
192.168.1.150.
• Client Lease Time The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network
user will be allowed connection to the Router with their current dynamic IP
address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased”
this dynamic IP address.
• DNS 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 utilize
another, type that IP Address in one of these fields. You can type up to three
DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will utilize these for quicker
access to functioning DNS Servers.
• WINS 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, left this blank.
• DHCP Clients Table Click the DHCP Clients Table button to show the
current DHCP Client data. (This data is stored in temporary memory and
changes periodically.)
