Internet Protocol (IP) Address Question:
How will my computer get its IP Address?
Answer:
There are 2 ways that any Network device will get its IP Address. One is manual entry by users / administrators while the other is automatic called DHCP. A DHCP server in the network (locally) or at your ISP (Public) does this job. Normally, most if not all computers and network devices are setup to look for a DHCP server and obtain IP Address.
