TCP/IP networks

This section provides an overview of the TCP/IP networks.

• TCP/IP addressing and protocols
  A TCP/IP network requires an Ethernet device be assigned an IP address to identify it as a host on the network.
• Windows name servers
  Windows 98/2000/NT/XP/Vista offer several networking services, most of them using DNS to provide a naming service.
• Routing without RIP or RIP2
  RIP and RIP2 are common routing protocols supported by the Ethernet TAP probe.
