This chapter explains why you need a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and a domain name system (DNS) server. You’ll also learn how to configure DHCP services on Mac OS X Server to provide address, lease and renewal, and directory information. You will then change settings on the client computer to access Internet Protocol (IP) information via DHCP.

This is a little offtopic but the X logo on the OS X articles is out of date. The X is set in the typeface Garamond and is in aqua, the new logo is titanium and is set in the typeface Myriad Pro.
The problem is that they change their logo all too often for our taste(with each release) and some of these incarnations don’t scale well on 32×32. If you find for me a picture of the current logo in a *white* background that scales well in 32×32 (meaning that it doesn’t look like a ‘normal’ X when resized, but an OSX ‘X’), I would do the change.
Yes, this is off topic btw. Further discussion to this should be directed to the mailing list of osnews-crew.
