	workstation to give its own IP address.

Communication Communication has four components: sender, receiver, message, and medium. In networks, devices and application tasks and processes communicate messages to each other over media. They represent the sender and receivers. The data they send is the message. The cabling or transmission method they use is the medium.

Connection In networking, two devices establish a connection to communicate with each other.

DHCP	Developed by Microsoft, DHCP (Dynamic Host
	Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for assigning
	dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With
	dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP
	address every time it connects to the network. In some
	systems, the device's IP address can even change
	while it is still connected. It also supports a mix of
	static and dynamic IP addresses. This simplifies the
	task for network administrators because the software
	keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an
	administrator to manage the task. A new computer
	can be added to a network without the hassle of
	manually assigning it a unique IP address. DHCP
	allows the specification for the service provided by a
	router, gateway, or other network device that
	automatically assigns an IP address to any device that
	requests one.
DNS	Domain Name System is an Internet service that
	translates domain names into IP addresses. Since
	domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to
	remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP
	addresses every time you use a domain name the
