How to Set up DHCP on LAN

1. 1
   Decide what range of IP addresses you would like to use
   
   
2. 2
   Set the IP address of your computer to 192.168.0.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (an address in the same subnet as the addresses in the pool, but not an address in the pool itself!)
3. 3
   Download dhcpd32 from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
4. 4
   Unzip the file to your computer and run dhcpd32.exe
5. 5
   Set the "IP pool starting address" to the address you want the first computer to use DHCP to have. (192.168.0.100 if you're not sure!)
6. 6
   Set the "Size of pool" to a little more than the number of computers and devices you think you'll need on your LAN. (if in doubt, 50 is a nice number)
7. 7
   Leave the "Boot File" field blank
8. 8
   If you have a DNS server on your network, or one accessible to the machines on your network, enter it's IP address in the "WINS/DNS Server" box. If you don't, or don't know what it means, leave it blank.
9. 9
   Set "Mask" to your subnet mask. If you don't know what that is, follow my addressing scheme and set it to 255.255.255.0
10. 10
    Leave the "Domain Name" and "Additional Option" boxes as they are.
11. 11
    Press "Save".
12. 12
    Your DHCP server is now set up!
