Huh? Ogden, I'm a dial-up user at texas.net. I don't speak "DHCP", whatever that
is.

OK, on dial-up, you essentially get what DHCP does every time you
dial-up. The settings in your DUN TCP/IP protocol are probably
set to automagically obtain your IP, DNS Server IPs, Gateway,
etc. from your ISP.

For those of us with cable/DSL/etc. connections, Dynamic Host
Control Protocol is the automated way of getting the IPs for your
DNS servers, etc., set regularly and automagically by your ISP,
rather than having those IPs permanently set in the software
configuration of TCP/IP settings of your NIC card. Same end
effect.
