The station with the correct IP address responds with its own MAC address directly to the sending 
device. The receiving station provides the transmitting station with the required destination MAC 
address. The IP address data and MAC address data for each station are held in an ARP table. The 
next time data is sent, the address can be obtained from the address information in the table.
For more information about address assignment, refer to the IETF documents RFC 1597, Address 
Allocation for Private Internets,
 and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.

Translator (NAT)

Domain Name Server
Many of the resources on the Internet can be addressed by simple descriptive names such as 
www.NETGEAR.com. This addressing is very helpful at the application level, but the descriptive 
name must be translated to an IP address in order for a user to actually contact the resource. Just as 
a telephone directory maps names to phone numbers, or as an ARP table maps IP addresses to 
MAC addresses, a domain name system (DNS) server maps descriptive names of network 
resources to IP addresses.
When a PC accesses a resource by its descriptive name, it first contacts a DNS server to obtain the 
IP address of the resource. The PC sends the desired message using the IP address. Many large 
organizations, such as ISPs, maintain their own DNS servers and allow their customers to use the 
servers to look up addresses.
IP Configuration by DHCP
When an IP-based local area network is installed, each PC must be configured with an IP address. 
If the PCs need to access the Internet, they should also be configured with a gateway address and 
one or more DNS server addresses. As an alternative to manual configuration, there is a method by 
which each PC on the network can automatically obtain this configuration information. A device 
on the network may act as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The DHCP 
server stores a list or pool of IP addresses, along with other information (such as gateway and DNS 
addresses) that it may assign to the other devices on the network. The DG834GT Super Wireless 
ADSL Router has the capacity to act as a DHCP server.
