DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - procedure for assigning
numeric IP address to nodes in which blocks of addresses are leased
to clients on a first-come, first-serve basis. Typically, DHCP is com-
bined with WINS, meaning an IP address is both dynamically
assigned and automatically associated with a domain name. This can
be combined with DNS, resulting in a dynamically assigned numeric
IP address that is automatically associated with both NetBIOS and
Internet names.

ates numeric IP addresses with Internet-style names
