Glossary of Wired Networking Terms

DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically configures the TCP/IP settings of every computer on your home network.

DNS Server Address - DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such as belkin.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing "belkin.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned.

Ethernet - A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and switches, and move data around at up to 100 million bits per second [? or, megabits per second] (Mbps).

IP Address - IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies a single, unique Internet computer host. Example: 192.34.45.8.

ISP - Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.

ISP Gateway Address - (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. This address is required only when using a cable or DSL modem.

LAN - Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.

MAC Address - MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network. A MAC address is unique (different) for every device.
