DHCP is the act of assigning an IP address and lease automatically.
When you talk about it being restricted to a MAC address, then I don't believe there's a special term for that. It's just an option you have under DHCP.
For wireless networks, it is smart to restrict the connections to your router by MAC address as an additional level of security, even if you're already using a WEP key.

having a static ip out of your isp is thoroughly diverse then the ip addresses on your desktops. there is no longer something incorrect with sharing your internet to extra advantageous than one device utilising a router as in all probability maximum suitable yet utilising a swap can artwork purely as stable. Hook your dsl line into the router and the router will sharethe line to all of the desktops hooked to the router trouble-free as that. in case you employ a swap you will decide to set a static ip address on each and every computer when you consider which you wont have a router to straight away hand out ip addresses. this way each and every computer has a various ip address so as that they do no longer conflict on the community. those ip addresses don't have something to do with your isp ipaddress those are inner ipaddresses interior of your person community. desire it helps some
