<!--'''ADSL (or DSL)'''
 +
ADSL is a type of high-speed Internet access that uses regular phone lines
 +
and is available in many metropolitan areas.
 +
'''Domain Name'''
 +
This refers to the unique name attached to your organization on the Internet.
 +
For example, "tofu-dog.com" or "e-smith.com". If you don't have a domain name,
 +
your ISP can help you select one, ensure it is available, and register it.
 +
'''DNS (Domain Name Service)'''
 +
DNS, or Domain Name Service, refers to the software and protocols involved
 +
in translating domain names to IP addresses. Your server provides DNS lookup services
 +
for your local network, and your ISP typically also provides you with the IP addresses
 +
of DNS servers. These servers do not need to be configured into your server as the DNS
 +
server that is provided with your server will correctly resolve all local and Internet
 +
names.
 +
'''DNS: Publication of DNS Address Records'''
 +
The publication of DNS address information allows other DNS servers to look up
 +
your domain information. Your ISP must publish DNS address records associating the
 +
name of your web server ("www.domain.xxx"), FTP server ("ftp.domain.xxx") and e-mail
 +
server ("mail.domain.xxx") with the IP address of your server.
 +
'''DNS: Publication of DNS Mail (MX) Records'''
 +
The publication of DNS mail (MX) records is the method used to inform Domain Name Services
 +
worldwide that all e-mail to your domain ("yourdomain.xxx") should be delivered to
 +
your e-mail server ("mail.yourdomain.xxx").
 +
'''ETRN'''
 +
ETRN is a command used for dialup solutions in order to retrieve e-mail
 +
temporarily stored at your ISP
 +
'''Gateway IP Address'''
 +
  A gateway is the device on your network that forwards packets to and from the Internet.
