DHCP	Dynamic	DHCP automates address assignment and management. When
	Host	a computer connects to the LAN, DHCP assigns it an IP address
	Configuratio	from a shared pool of IP addresses; after a specified time limit,
	n Protocol	DHCP returns the address to the pool.
DHCP server	Dynamic	A DHCP server is a computer that is responsible for assigning IP
	Host	addresses to the computers on a LAN. See DHCP.

DNS	Domain	The DNS maps domain names into IP addresses. DNS
	Name	information is distributed hierarchically throughout the Internet
	System	among computers called DNS servers. For example,
		www.yahoo.com is the domain name associated with IP
		address 216.115.108.243. When you start to access a web site,
		a DNS server looks up the requested domain name to find its
		corresponding IP address. If the DNS server cannot find the IP
		address, it communicates with higher-level DNS servers to
		determine the IP address. See also domain name.
domain		A domain name is a user-friendly name used in place of its
name		associated IP address. Domain names must be unique; their
		assignment is controlled by the Internet Corporation for
		Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). A domain name is a

		site. See also DNS.

	Line
Ethernet		The most commonly installed computer network technology,

firewall		A firewall is a method for protecting your computer or LAN from
		attacks and other unwelcome or malicious accesses from the
		outside (i.e. the Internet). Unauthorized users may attempt to
		attack your network in order to prevent you or others on your
		LAN from using.
		You can protect your network by blocking certain types of IP
		traffic commonly used by ‘hackers’ to transport attacks from the
		Internet to your LAN (incoming traffic). Similarly, you can restrict
		the types of IP traffic sent from your network to the Internet
		(outgoing traffic). Some firewall protection can be provided by
		packet filtering and Network Address Translation services.
FTP	File Transfer	A program used to transfer files between computers connected
	Protocol	to the Internet. Common uses include uploading new or updated

		billion bits per second. Internet data rates are often expressed in
		Gbps.
