  2. Windows Vista networking technologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista_networking...

    The Windows Vista networking stack supports the dual Internet Protocol (IP) layer architecture in which the IPv4 and IPv6 implementations share common Transport and Framing layers. Windows Vista provides a GUI for configuration of both IPv4 and IPv6 properties. IPv6 is now supported by all networking components and services. The Windows Vista ...

  3. Zero-configuration networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking

    More commonly addresses are assigned by a DHCP server, often built into common networking hardware like computer hosts or routers. Most IPv4 hosts use link-local addressing only as a last resort when a DHCP server is unavailable. An IPv4 host otherwise uses its DHCP-assigned address for all communications, global or link-local.

  4. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration...

    This method is also variously called static DHCP allocation, fixed address allocation, reservation, and MAC/IP address binding. An administrator maps a unique identifier (a client id or MAC address) for each client to an IP address, which is offered to the requesting client. DHCP servers may be configured to fall back to other methods if this ...

  5. IEEE 802.1X - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1X

    802.1X-2001 defines two logical port entities for an authenticated port—the "controlled port" and the "uncontrolled port". The controlled port is manipulated by the 802.1X PAE (Port Access Entity) to allow (in the authorized state) or prevent (in the unauthorized state) network traffic ingress and egress to/from the controlled port.

  6. ipconfig - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipconfig

    ipconfig in Mac OS X serves as a wrapper to the IPConfiguration agent, and can be used to control the Bootstrap Protocol and DHCP client from the command-line interface. [8] For example, you can release and renew an IP address if it happened to be assigned incorrectly by the DHCP server during the automated assignment process. [9]

  7. Microsoft DNS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_DNS

    Prior to Windows Vista (and Windows Server 2008), this registration is performed by the DHCP Client service. It is thus necessary to run the DHCP Client service on pre-Vista machines, even if DHCP isn't being used to configure the machine in order to dynamically register a machine's name and address for DNS lookup. The DHCP Client service ...

  8. Discovery and Configuration Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and...

    It is a link layer based protocol to configure station names and IP addresses. It is restricted to the local network segment and mainly used in small and medium applications without an installed DHCP server. [1]

  9. Security and safety features new to Windows Vista - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_and_safety...

    Features include: Windows Vista Web Filter—implemented as a Winsock LSP filter to function across all Web browsers—which prohibits access to websites based on categories of content or specific addresses (with an option to block all file downloads); Time Limits, which prevents standard users from logging in during a date or time specified by ...
