IP configuration with DHCP server

Double check that your workstations are set to get an IP address from the DHCP server (see TCP/IP->network interface properties on each computer) and that all other TCP/IP properties are blank including DNS server information.

Then run WinRoute Administration program:

1. Go to menu Settings=>DHCP server.

2. Switch DHCP server ON (check the button) and press Add New Scope button.

3. Add Scope
Here you will specify the scope of IP addresses used by the DHCP server which are given out to workstations. Remember one IP address is already used by the WinRoute computer so avoid using it. The IP address range must be of the same subnet. See the picture as the example.

4. Specify Options (important!)
In Options you specify what other information will be given to workstations (e.g. default gateway, DNS server etc.). Check the button beside each component in the dialog box and enter the appropriate information. Enter the information for default gateway and DNS server (typically you would use WinRoute as the DNS server) and use the IP address of the WinRoute computer (e.g. 192.168.1.1). You may leave other options blank.
