Thought I might see about putting some light on the topic then:

DHCP = Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Its used mainly to assign Dynamic IP's to avoid conflicts on larger LAN's, but other settings can be given through DHCP also.

For most home uses, its not a 'need' on the list, as a Static IP will suffice :-)

Hope this helps
