  Enable DHCP server at boot time: enables internal DHCP server and allows you to select the interface on which the server is enabled (normally eth1)
  
• 
  must be more than / must be less than: range of IP addresses that can be assigned to hosts
  
•

• 
  Primary / Secondary DNS server: addresses of DNS servers
  
• 
  Primary /Secondary NTP Server: addresses of NTP servers
  
• 
  Primary / Secondary WINS Server: addresses of WINS servers
