Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol | What Is DHCP?? | How Stuff Works Episode #2

*****Disclaimer: In the video, I did make a mistake with the meaning of DHCP, but didn't catch it until after the video was edited. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol not Dynamic Host Control Protocol*****

What is DHCP? How does it work? How does your computer communicate with a DHCP Server? What DHCP messages are involved? What's the difference between a dynamic IP and a static IP?

We cover all of this in this episode of "How Stuff Works"
