Hello Mike:

N.P. I'm often guilty of that as well.

I'm using the Linksys BEFSR11 with 2x EFAH05W 5 port fast-
either hubs. Currently looking for a Print Server/hub with
4 additional ports or an 8 port linksys fasteither hub. For
some reason the Linksys Printer Server doesn't work well
with an Epson Stylus 800 :-(

Mike:

I think my phrasing is allowing you to read too much into this.

The line is suggesting that you COULD use the Linksys to provide the DHCP
function. That way it is not necessary to configure a "server" to handle
that function.

I use it at home and no server is required to run my network.

If the intent is TO configure a server to perform this function, I
would still suggest configuring the Linksys to do this function anyway,
THEN disable it, then use your "server" DHCP. That way you always have
a quick backup should the "server" you configured DHCP on, go down, the
network would still be easily & quickly configured to provide DHCP till
that "server" is again online.

Fred says:
but it is snappy and you dont loose a machine to DHCP.

Say what? I loose the functionality of the server if I make it the DHCP
server? How and Why is that?
