TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) - TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - UDP is a connectionless pro- tocol that, like TCP, runs on top of IP networks. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way to send and receive datagrams over an IP network.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - Is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard.

WINIPCFG - Configuration utility based on the Win32 API for querying, defining, and managing IP addresses within a net- work. A commonly used utility, under Windows 95, 98, and Me, for configuring networks.

WLAN - Acronym for wireless local-area network. A type of local-area network that uses high-frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate between nodes.
