a network administrator can use remote program load (rpl) or dynamic host configuration protocol (dhcp) to control your computer.if you use rpl with software such as ibm lanclient control manager,you can use a feature called hybrid rpl,which installs hybrid images (or files) on the hard disk.if your computer is a hybrid rpl client,each time the computer starts from the network,lanclient control manager downloads a small bootstrap program to your computer hard disk and avoids the network traffic associated with a standard rpl.

    dhcp is a protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of internet protocol (ip) addresses on a network.
