  2. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    IP addresses are assigned to a host either dynamically as they join the network, or persistently by configuration of the host hardware or software. Persistent configuration is also known as using a static IP address. In contrast, when a computer's IP address is assigned each time it restarts, this is known as using a dynamic IP address.

  3. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - Wikipedia

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

    This is like dynamic allocation, but the DHCP server keeps a table of past IP address assignments, so that it can preferentially assign to a client the same IP address that the client previously had. Manual allocation This method is also variously called static DHCP allocation, fixed address allocation, reservation, and MAC/IP address binding.

  4. Static routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_routing

    Static routing may have the following uses: When using static address configuration (in the absence of DHCP or Router Advertisements) it can be used to provide a default route, forming a special case of the longest prefix match as it has a prefix length of zero and therefore always matches, and always matches last.

  5. Zero-configuration networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking

    When an mDNS client needs to resolve a local hostname to an IP address, it sends a DNS request for that name to the well-known multicast address; the computer with the corresponding A/AAAA record replies with its IP address. The mDNS multicast address is 224.0.0.251 for IPv4 and ff02::fb for IPv6 link-local addressing.

  6. Link-local address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address

    Link-local addresses may be assigned manually by an administrator or by automatic operating system procedures. In Internet Protocol (IP) networks, they are assigned most often using stateless address autoconfiguration, a process that often uses a stochastic process to select the value of link-local addresses, assigning a pseudo-random address that is different for each session.

  7. IPv6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6

    As this method of assigning addresses would cause undesirable address changes when faulty network cards were replaced, and as it also suffered from a number of security and privacy issues, RFC 8064 has replaced the original MAC-based method with the hash-based method specified in RFC 7217.

    Most email software and applications have an account settings menu where you'll need to update the IMAP or POP3 settings. When entering your account info, make sure you use your full email address, including @aol.com, and that the SSL encryption is enabled for incoming and outgoing mail.

  9. Domain Name System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System

    The Internet maintains two principal namespaces, the domain name hierarchy and the IP address spaces. [2] The Domain Name System maintains the domain name hierarchy and provides translation services between it and the address spaces. Internet name servers and a communication protocol implement the Domain Name System. A DNS name server is a ...
