Physical Address of the mobile computer.
The Internet is a collection of networks with users that communicate with each other. Each communication carries the
address of the source and destination networks and the particular machine within the network associated with the user
or host computer at each end. This address is called the IP address (Internet Protocol address). Each node on the IP
network must be assigned a unique IP address that is made up of a network identifier and a host identifier. Enter the
IP address as a dotted-decimal notation with the decimal value of each octet separated by a period, for example,
192.168.7.27.
Most TCP/IP networks use subnets in order to effectively manage routed IP addresses. Having an organization's
network divided into subnets allows it to be connected to the Internet with a single shared network address, for
example, 255.255.255.0.
The default gateway is a device that is used to forward IP packets to and from a remote destination.
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server issues a leased IP address and network configuration
information.
Indicates the start time that the DHCP server issued the IP address and network configuration information.
Indicates the expiration time for the IP address and network configuration information.
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. DNS is used to translate domain names and
IP addresses.
WINS is a Microsoft Net BIOS name server. WINS eliminates the broadcasts needed to resolve computer names to IP
addresses by providing a cache or database of translations.
