IP Address

Each computer that connects to a network or the Internet,

 

must have a unique address. A connection to the Internet

 

provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses a

 

standard protocol called Internet Protocol (IP). This protocol

 

is also used on internal networks. IP address numbers are in

 

the form x.x.x.x—for example, 169.254.100.2. Most

 

networks use DHCP or AutoIP to dynamically assign IP

 

addresses.

 

 

LAN

Local Area Network. A group of computers that are

 

connected via network cable, telephone lines, and radio

 

waves in order to share resources such as printers and data.

 

 

LEAP

Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. A proprietary

 

protocol from Cisco Systems that uses passwords for mutual

 

authentication (that is, the client and the server authenticate

 

each other).

 

 

mDNS

Multicast Domain Name Server. Apple Rendezvous is used

 

with local and ad-hoc networks that don’t use central DNS

 

servers. To perform name services, Rendezvous uses a DNS

 

alternative called mDNS. With mDNS, your computer can

 

find and use any printer connected to your local area

 

network. It can also work with any other Ethernet-enabled

 

device that appears on the network.

 

 

NDIS5

A networking driver API that provides automatic detection

 

and switching of wireless LAN cards on a PC. This works

 

most reliably on Windows XP. Macintosh OS X has a similar

 

API that is used in its AiO software solution.

 

 

Node

A network connection point, typically a computer.

 

 

PEAP

Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol. A mutual

 

authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for server

 

authentication and passwords for client authentication. For

 

additional security, the authentication exchanges are

 

encapsulated within TLS (Transport Level Security).

 

 

Protocol

A protocol is a predefined set of rules and conventions for

 

handling data communications. Protocols are to computers

 

what language is to humans. Therefore, for two devices on

 

a network to successfully communicate, they must both

 

understand the same protocols.

 

 

Proxy Server

A proxy server acts as a security gate (such as a Web proxy)

 

that restricts traffic going through a network. The proxy

 

intercepts requests to the network to see if it can fulfill the

 

requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to another server.

 

Proxy servers have two main purposes: improve

 

performance and filter requests.

 

Note: Obtain the proxy server IP address from your ISP.

 

The proxy server IP address is required for HP Instant

 

Share registration. If your ISP does not use a proxy

 

server, leave the field blank.
