•
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allocates IP addresses to computers on the network
automatically without assigning a computer a static (fixed) IP address.
•
DNS (Domain Name System) Server - A computer that "looks up" the name of a computer and finds
the corresponding IP address. This allows you to access computers on the Internet without configuring
IP addresses for remote connections.

•
Subnet Mask - A set of numbers in IP address format using 255 in place of the XXX's. It determines
the type of network by "masking" out numbers. A Class C network has a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0.
•
VPN - Virtual Private Network is a "virtual" network that encrypts data and sends it privately over the
Public Internet.
