<title>Connecting to a Network</title>
<para>
The LFS book covers setting up networking by connecting to a LAN
with a static IP address. There are other methods used to obtain an IP
address and connect to a LAN and other networks (such as the Internet).
The most popular methods (DHCP and PPP) are covered in this chapter.</para>
<para>
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol used
by many sites to automatically provide information such as IP addresses,
subnet masks and routing information to computers. If your network uses
DHCP, you will need a DHCP client in order to connect to it.

<!-- we do not include ppp
<para>
PPP stands for Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a data link protocol
commonly used for establishing authenticated IP connections over
a phone line with a modem, or over radio waves with a cellular phone. There
is also a variant (PPPoE) that works over Ethernet and is used by cable
providers to authenticate the Internet connections.
