| 14 | The LFS book covers setting up networking by connecting to a LAN
|
|---|
| 15 | with a static IP address. There are other methods used to obtain an IP
|
|---|
| 16 | address and connect to a LAN and other networks (such as the Internet).
|
|---|
| 17 | The most popular methods (DHCP and PPP) are covered in this chapter.</para>

| 20 | DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol used
|
|---|
| 21 | by many sites to automatically provide information such as IP addresses,
|
|---|
| 22 | subnet masks and routing information to computers. If your network uses
|
|---|
| 23 | DHCP, you will need a DHCP client in order to connect to it.

| 27 | PPP stands for Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a data link protocol
|
|---|
| 28 | commonly used for establishing authenticated IP connections over
|
|---|
| 29 | a phone line with a modem, or over radio waves with a cellular phone. There
|
|---|
| 30 | is also a variant (PPPoE) that works over Ethernet and is used by cable
|
|---|
| 31 | providers to authenticate the Internet connections.
