DNS (Domain Name System)
Method for matching Internet domain names with IP addresses. When a 
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is entered into a Web browser, a domain name 
server retrieves the corresponding IP address for the domain name specified 
(“name resolution”) and sends the request to the appropriate server. Domain 
names are convenient “handles” for IP addresses.
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)
Transmits data bi-directionally at high speeds.
DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum )
Generates a redundant bit pattern for each bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern 
is called a chip (or chipping code). The longer the chip, the greater the 
probability that the original data can be recovered. Even if one or more bits in 
the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in 
the radio can recover the original data without the need for retransmission. To 
an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low-power wideband noise and is 
rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers.
dynamic IP address
An IP address that is automatically assigned (typically by a DHCP server) in a 
TCP/IP network, as opposed to a static IP address.
ESS (Extended Service Set)
More than one wireless network.
ESSID (Extended Service Set Identification)
A unique name (or ID) used by users roaming among the multiple wireless 
networks. An infrastructure configuration can support roaming capability for 
mobile workers. More than one BSS can be configured as an ESS. Users within 
an ESS can roam freely between BSSs while served as a continuous connection 
to the network. Wireless stations and wireless access points within an ESS must 
be configured with the same ESSID and radio channel.
Ethernet
Protocol and cabling scheme allowing transfer of data at 10 Mbps.
Ethernet card
