Have a poke around in the BT router control panel and switch it on there.
  1. What is DHCP?
    DHCP stands for "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol".
  2. What is DHCP's purpose? DHCP's purpose is to enable individual computers on an IP network to extract their configurations from a server (the 'DHCP server') or servers, in particular, servers that have no exact information about the individual computers until they request the information. The overall purpose of this is to reduce the work necessary to administer a large IP network. The most significant piece of information distributed in this manner is the IP address.
but don't worry - just 'turn it on'
