[. . . ] This time, the IP Address and Netmask fields are those La Fonera uses inside the private network: this is the IP addresses you need to connect to when accessing La Fonera's Management Console. Now we'll see the DHCP Server field in detail. If you've read the entire manual, you'll probably remember the DHCP term. DHCP takes care of automatically configuring the devices you wish to use to connect to your private network. You have two options in this field: Enabled, which will virtually automate the entire process, and Disabled, which will deactivate the automatic configuration of your equipment to the Internet connection (if you're using this protocol). In this case you must manually configure your private network's devices. As you can see in the figure, you have three more options to choose from in the Firewall settings section. This option also has two states, Allow and Deny. By default, only WiFi>WAN port will be enabled. Let's see their characteristics. 54 AConfigureLaFonera A.

Like the previous section, this may be of interest to you if you host a content server in your network. ·Private WiFiWAN port: By enabling this type of connection, you'll be allowing the use of the WAN port to the private network users. This option is enabled by default, but you must remember that the users will be in two different networks, so you won't see them in sections like the Workgroup in Windows. Wireless settings This section describes La Fonera's wireless settings. As you can see in the figure, there are two options you can modify. Let's see them in detail: 55 AConfigureLaFonera A.
