- Start IP Address - if using static public addresses, the IP addresses must be sequential; enter the first address here; if using DHCP, just enter something like 1.1.1.1
- End IP address - the last IP address of the sequence; if using DHCP, you'll need to enter something that would work out to the last address relative to Start IP Address (i.e. if adding 3 computers, use 1.1.1.1 for start and 1.1.1.3 for end)
