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. 
The length of time for the IP address lease. Enter the Lease 
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.
Enable this feature to allow WINS information to be learned from the WAN side, disable to allow manual configuration.
This feature allows the configuration of a NetBIOS ‘domain’ name under which network hosts operates. This setting has 
no effect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information from WAN’ is activated.

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.
