Thane_Bitter join:2005-01-20 London, ON ·Bell Sympatico	reply to GeekNJ said by GeekNJ : DHCP only matters if using the WAN port. The WAN side of that model router can only have a static IP, or have one assigned to it by a DHCP server (I will ignore PPPoE, PPTP since they are not relevant in this discussion); it lacks the architecture for generating address (i.e. no DHCP server functions). The LAN side on the other hand does include a DHCP server (and usually must have a static IP). Assuming that the OP has another DHCP server on the rest of his/her network (based on the statement "plug line in to lan 1 and other pc to lan 2") issues will arise (duplicate IP’s). There are ways to run multiple DHCP servers on a network, but pre-configuration is required to prevent address overlap. BEFSR41 v 1 - 3 cannot be assigned an IP address by a DHCP server, it might be possible in v4. Something like a WRT54g with 3rd party firmware on the other hand will. -- The Wagon Queen Family Truckster; sure you think you hate it now, but wait till you drive it.
