wireless network setup chapter 15 IP Address LAN LEAP mDNS NDIS5 Node PEAP Protocol Proxy Server 172 Each computer that connects to a network or the Internet, must have a unique address. A connection to the Internet provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses a standard protocol called Internet Protocol (IP). This protocol is also used on internal networks. IP address numbers are in the form x.x.x.x-for example, 169.254.100.2. Most networks use DHCP or AutoIP to dynamically assign IP addresses. Local Area Network. A group of computers that are connected via network cable, telephone lines, and radio waves in order to share resources such as printers and data. Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. A proprietary protocol from Cisco Systems that uses passwords for mutual authentication (that is, the client and the server authenticate each other). Multicast Domain Name Server. Apple Rendezvous is used with local and ad-hoc networks that don't use central DNS servers. To perform name services, Rendezvous uses a DNS alternative called mDNS. With mDNS, your computer can find and use any printer connected to your local area network. It can also work with any other Ethernet-enabled device that appears on the network. A networking driver API that provides automatic detection and switching of wireless LAN cards on a PC. This works most reliably on Windows XP. Macintosh OS X has a similar API that is used in its AiO software solution. A network connection point, typically a computer. Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol. A mutual authentication protocol that uses digital certificates for server authentication and passwords for client authentication. For additional security, the authentication exchanges are encapsulated within TLS (Transport Level Security). A protocol is a predefined set of rules and conventions for handling data communications. Protocols are to computers what language is to humans. Therefore, for two devices on a network to successfully communicate, they must both understand the same protocols. A proxy server acts as a security gate (such as a Web proxy) that restricts traffic going through a network. The proxy intercepts requests to the network to see if it can fulfill the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to another server. Proxy servers have two main purposes: improve performance and filter requests. Note: Obtain the proxy server IP address from your ISP. The proxy server IP address is required for HP Instant Share registration. If your ISP does not use a proxy server, leave the field blank. hp psc 2500 series
