The OfficeConnect Secure Router has the ability to dynamically
allocate network addresses to the computers on your network,
using DHCP. However, your computers need to be configured
correctly for this to take place. To change the configuration of
your computers to allow this, follow the instructions in this
chapter.
If your computers are configured with static addresses (also
known as fixed addresses) and you do not wish to change this,
then you should use the Discovery program on the Router
CD-ROM to detect and configure your Router. Refer to
“Using
Discovery”
on
page 79
for information on using the Discovery
program.
