This depends on the setup though. Until recently I was running
Win2003 Server as a Domain Controller on my home LAN. All the
computers on the LAN used it as the DHCP server so I didn't need to
set up anything.
For many home users, routers providing DHCP are a godsend. They allow
easy plug and play access when they put new computers in the mix.
They don't need to know how to configure network resources to be able
to check their e-mail or hit AOL. All this with pretty good security
if the router offers NAT and they are running a software firewall.
