Client Privileges
Your home network Gateway can block certain services to
computers on your network, using the Client Privileges page
in Setup. For example, you can block Internet access to
your child's computer during times when you are not able to
supervise his/her computer use.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol
automatically configures the TCP/IP settings of every
computer on your home network.
DNS Server Address
DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet
host computers to have a domain name and one or more IP
addresses (such as 192.168.0.10). A DNS server keeps a
database of host computers and their respective domain
names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is
requested, the user is sent to the proper IP address. The
DNS server address used by the computers on your home
network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has
assigned.
DSL Modem
DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. The DSL modem
uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high
speeds.
Ethernet
A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are
connected by special cables and hubs, and move data
around at up to 10 million bits per second (Mbps).
