> Hi Networker
>
> I have couple of questions.
>
> 1. We recently received a router preconfigured from
> one of our client. The moment we connect the router to
> our network, all of our PC in our internal network got
> a message about IP conflict with another IP address
> which is not our internal IP address. We use
> 10.210.X.X as our internal IP and the conflicting IP
> was 169.254.X.X. We use DHCP server internally. This
> router was connected to our network through Sonicwall
> Firewall which disallows all the incoming traffic. So,
> we removed the router and everything worked fine. So,
> my question is "Is there a DHCP server in the router?"
>
> 2. How should I connect my PC to the console. I have
> the console cables with me. I am using Windows NT
> server. I tried to connect the cable to the com2 and
> when I tries to use the Hyper terminal it took most of
> the processor time. So please help me out.
>
> Somebody please help me. I have to finish this work by
> the end of the day.

> TIA.
