DHCP = Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol -
Communications protocol where a range
of IP addresses are managed centrally
and assigned automatically to network
devices on demand. A DHCP server is
not required on a WLAN, but if it does
not exist, all the devices on the WLAN
must be manually configured. The Wi-
Net Window reports the following from
the DHCP server:
- an IP address for itself (My IP)
- the IP address of the DHCP server
- the Netmask in use
- the Router’s IP address
- the IP address of the DNS server
DNS = Domain Name Server
Provides translation of URL addresses
(like www.yahoo.com) to IP addresses
DNS servers are found on the Internet,
and thus are of interest to the Wi-Net
Window because accessing (pinging)
the DNS server proves that the Wi-Net
Window can access a device on the
WLAN.
Gateway = Router - see below
IP = Internet Protocol
Actually TCP/IP = Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol,
but commonly abbreviated to IP.
