In a network, the computers need to be able to connect to each other physically. Therefore, another important network property is how the computers connect to each other, either directly or through a central device. ONE-ON-ONE WIRED NETWORK also known as: Direct connection (max. 2 PCs) NOTE: Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect two computers directly to each other.
Glossary of terms 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. 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.
