   Re: Netscreen 5xp Setup Help

   From: mousemen@you.com   
      
   I was hopeing it would work like the other routers but more advanced   
   features.I think because I had it behind a router that did the dns for it it   
   worked before.Now its not behind a router that does that. The netscreen is   
   acting as a dhcp server right now.I Thought since it was acting as a dhcp   
   server and with the dns servers put in it would automatically work.As far as   
   the info it hands out its the ip address for the network clients   
   (192.168.1.x ) the netsceen is setup on 192.168.1.252 (untrust) and .254 for   
   the manage ip. Should I setup a server to hand out the ip instead and it do   
   the dns serving for the network or is there a way for the device to do that   
   but Im just not setting it. Thank you in advance for your help on this.
