digital rights management
Technology built into digital media, such
as music and movies, that allows companies in charge of their copyrights to
decide how and where media can be used.
domain name
A unique name combined with a top level domain (TLD),
such as .com or .org, also called a "domain extension," makes up the Internet
domain name.
For example, hp.com is the Internet domain name for Hewlett-
Packard.
Domain Name System (DNS)
A server that associates network names
with IP addresses. Also see
IP address.
domain extension
A domain extension is an optional part of a network
name used to
logically
divide a large network into smaller networks.
drive partition
A
logical
division of a hard disk that create the
appearance of having separate hard drives for file management, multiple
users, or other purposes.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
The protocol used to
assign IP addresses to network devices, such as computers. DHCP
automatically assigns IP addresses to network devices; the assigned address
can change over time. Also see
IP address, protocol,
and
static IP address.
Dynamic IP address
A temporary numeric identification assigned to a
node in a TCP/IP network.
When computers and devices in the network are
turned on, they are assigned an IP address by a DHCP server. Internet service
providers typically assign dynamic IP addresses to the Internet connections of
their residential and small business customers. Consequently, the IP address to
the outside world in a cable or DSL modem may change every month, every
day, or even every hour.
E
Ethernet
The standard local area network (LAN) access method for
connecting devices to a company or home network as well as to a cable
modem or DSL modem for Internet access.
Ethernet Switch
A networking device that connects multiple computers
within a Local Area Network (LAN). Switches are similar to hubs, but are
more intelligent. Unlike hubs, switches are capable of inspecting data packets
as they are received, determining the source and destination computer of that
