English translation:use DHCP
Explanation:
The Danish source term is peculiar, especially "på". I would expect "bruge DHCP" og perhaps "køre DHCP" (with DHCP IP addresses are assigned dynamically and automatically as opposed to static IP addresses).

disagree  Thomas T. Frost: 1. You're trying to add a technical explanation that isn't in the original; 2: your explanation "get an Internet Protocol" is wrong; it should be "IP address"/This is still not the place to rewrite things; you don't know if DHCP has already been explained

  -> It's not poetry, but a badly written manual - the point is that the user understands what to do and what's happening. / I know, I translated exactly the same manual only yesterday. EOT.

agree  Thomas T. Frost: I'd even say "køre på" is incorrect Danish in this context.
