DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This program is used on client-
server networks, as opposed to peer-to-peer networks. When a network uses
DHCP, the network includes a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP
addresses to computers on the network as needed. Each time that a
computer disconnects from the network and then reconnects, the DHCP
server assigns a new IP address. Most client-server networks have either a
DHCP server or a Bootp server. Bootp is a program that performs the same
function as DHCP. When a computer is not on a network, or the network
does not have a DHCP server or similar server, then the computer uses a
static IP address. The computer static IP address does not change until is it
changed manually. A static IP address is retained during a system restart.
