- Routing and Remote Access/server name/IP Routing/NAT/Basic Firewall
Right-click NAT/Basic Firewall, and then click Properties.
On the Address Assignment tab, select the Automatically assign IP addresses by using the DHCP allocator check box.

Note

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group. As a security best practice, consider using the Run As command rather than logging on with administrative credentials. If you have logged on with administrative credentials, you can also open Routing and Remote Access by clicking Start, clicking Control Panel, double-clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Routing and Remote Access. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
