DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-825 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign
an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP
settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings
provided by the DIR-825. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting
computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool.
Check this box to enable the DHCP server on your router.
Uncheck to disable this function.
Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the DHCP
server’s IP assignment.
Note: If you statically (manually) assign IP addresses to
your computers or devices, make sure the IP addresses are
outside of this range or you may have an IP conflict.

time in minutes.
Enable this feature to broadcast your networks DHCP server
to LAN/WLAN clients.
NetBIOS allows LAN hosts to discover all other computers
within the network, enable this feature to allow the DHCP
Server to offer NetBIOS configuration settings.

Section 3 - Configuration
The DIR-825 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public
IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).
The DIR-825 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked
with the DIR-825 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible
from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DIR-825 redirects the external
service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DIR-825 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a
different port on the server computer.
Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are
pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to
use that particular virtual service.
For a list of ports for common applications, please visit http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1191.
