Configuring the DHCP Address Range

By default, the ZoneAlarm DHCP server automatically sets the DHCP address range. The DHCP address range is the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can assign to network devices. IP addresses outside of the DHCP address range are reserved for statically addressed computers.

If desired, you can set the ZoneAlarm DHCP range manually.

To configure the DHCP address range

1. Click Network in the main menu, and click the My Network tab.

   The My Network page appears.

2. In the desired network's row, click Edit.

   The Edit Network Settings page appears.

3. Do one of the following:
   • To allow the DHCP server to set the IP address range, select the Automatic DHCP range check box.
   • To set the DHCP range manually:
     1. Clear the Automatic DHCP range check box.

        The DHCP IP range fields appear.

     2. In the DHCP IP range fields, type the desired DHCP range.
4. Click Apply.

   A warning message appears.

5. Click OK.

   A success message appears

6. If your computer is configured to obtain its IP address automatically (using DHCP), and either the ZoneAlarm DHCP server or another DHCP server is enabled, restart your computer.

   Your computer obtains an IP address in the new DHCP address range.
