IP Type If DHCP was selected from the IP Config tab, leased IP address and network address

data displays for the mobile computer. If Static was selected, the values displayed

IP Address 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. 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.

Subnet Mask 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.

Gateway The gateway is a device that is used to forward IP packets to and from a remote

destination.

DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. DNS is

used mostly to translate domain names and IP addresses. It is also used to control

Internet e-mail delivery. Most Internet service requires DNS to operate properly. If

DNS is not configured, Web sites cannot be located or e-mail delivery fails.
