-A DHCP server assigns IP addresses to network devices configured to use "deynamic" or "automatic" addressing, thus removing the need to specifying hard-coded IP addresses for players and other network devices. Most networks have such a DHCP server, sometimes built into a router or similar device. If you don't already have such a DHCP server on your network, your BLOCKS server can be configuref to perform this function.+A DHCP server assigns IP addresses to network devices configured to use "dynamic" or "automatic" addressing, thus removing the need to specifying hard-coded IP addresses for players and other network devices.

 A DNS server provides name lookups for clients on your network, allowing you to access the BLOCKS Server, and possibly other devices on the network, by name rather than by its IP address. This is particularly important if you want to allow guests to access BLOCKS using their own mobile devices, e.g. to create a mobile guide system. A DNS server provides name lookups for clients on your network, allowing you to access the BLOCKS Server, and possibly other devices on the network, by name rather than by its IP address.
