Thanks Tony
The help and advice from Linksys is blurred on this subject.
If they only spoke english (whatever flavour) and not tried
to sacrifice space for content.
That was a very good explanation/description Tony.
The following link is to a dhcp pool glossary entry which
contains another good description of the dhcp pool. The link
and a quoted selection from the page:
--------------------------
<http://www.emergecore.com/support/glossary/dhcp_pool/index.php>
"You can use any portion of this range to create your DHCP Pool
however any addresses you use for your pool must not be used
for any other purpose."

The following link has a HILARIOUS treatment of dhcp as Hank,
the Angry Drunken Dwarf, configures the dhcp server of a Cisco
router. Caution: the writing can get a bit "raw". <VBG> The
link and a small quoted selection from the page:
--------------------------
<http://www.routergod.com/hanktheangrydrunkendwarf/>
"After I get another beer I'll tell you how all this happens,
then I, Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf will actually configure
DHCP on a Cisco router. Whoop! Whoop! I can't even spell DHCP
and I'm going to configure it. Big time! Oh yeah, Christ, I
almost forgot, your DCHP server, actually it's a router running
DHCP server emulation on it, can be anywhere. Your DHCP server
does not have to be on the same network as the clients
requesting DHCP addresses. The clients use broadcasts to find a
DHCP server. Ha! Ha! I know what you are thinking, routers
don't forward broadcasts, boy, Hank is a dumb ass! Well I say
up yours! Routers do forward broadcasts if you type in the ip
helper-address command, so there! I'm gonna go chug a couple of
beers and I'll come back and we'll figure this all out, packet
by packet."
