Glossary 85
address of a computer changes, the DNS cache on all the computers using the
computer’s name must be cleared to re-establish the association. Note that with a
DHCP server, DNS is managed by a DNS server and not by the client.
• Domain .
Computers connected in a network that uses DHCP and other services for shared
resources and communications.
• Dynamic IP address .
A dynamic IP address is an IP address that can change. If not using a DHCP server,
the Auto IP service of a DHCP client assigns a dynamic IP address that, by default,
might change each time your computer (and/or your Matrox Iris GT) reboots. A
DHCP server, if used, can assign an IP address to a computer for a fixed amount
of time. When that time expires, the DHCP server can assign a new IP address to
that computer.
• LAN .
Local area network, also called a network. A LAN is a group of computers
connected to communicate and share resources and data. In this manual, a LAN
has several computers (servers) that are dedicated to serving the others (clients) in
a client/server architecture.
• NetBios over TCP/IP .
NetBios over TCP/IP is used by Microsoft Windows operating systems as a
peer-to-peer networking protocol. Microsoft Windows CE uses NetBios over
TCP/IP to synchronize and communicate with networked computers running a
Microsoft Windows operating system. NetBios associates a computer’s name with
its IP address so that, to connect to the computer, you can use its name instead of
its IP address. This domain name service (DNS) is also provided by a DNS server
when using a DHCP server.
• Peer-to-peer .
A peer-to-peer network is a type of network in which each computer has equivalent
capabilities and responsibilities. This differs from client/server architectures, in
which some computers are dedicated to serving the others. In this manual, a
