<div style="color:darkred; background: #f8e6e6; border: 1px solid #aa0000; padding: 1em; margin: 1em 3em">'''Note that a few of the benefits of your HDA, such as short names, etc. will not work if you disable DHCP on your server.'''</div>
Here are the [http://www.amahi.org/faq#is-dhcp-server-required DHCP tradeoffs] if you would like to only use some of the functionality.
* First turn on Advanced Settings, under Setup --> Settings
* Then go to the Setup --> Apps Settings --> Servers
* Once there, find the DHCP Server and unselect both "Watchdog. DHCP Server is being monitored 24x7" and "Start at Boot time"
* Then stop it. It will be stopped forever
In short, a few of the nicer features of your HDA will not be available. You can still point your machines to the DNS server in the HDA and get some of the benefits, like nice URLs for your HDA-provided services. This is not a supported configuration for things like [[Netboot]].
