The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized networking protocol used on IP networks that dynamically configures IP addresses and other information that is needed for Internet communication. (From Wikipedia)

Welcome to the DHCP server wizard. The first page is just an introduction, click Next. Choose the network interface, which is connected to the subnet, and for which DHCP will assign IP addresses, and then click Next. Select the beginning and ending IP addresses of the range of IPs you want the server to offer, along with the IP of the gateway machine connecting to some place outside the local network, hopefully close to the Internet, then click Next. Take a second to check these options, then click Next. This can be fixed. Click Previous a few times and change things around.
