【Idea】A Reverse Way of Using Bluetooth Finder

In the post about Chipolo and SickNFind, we talked about a Bluetooth finder that is used with smart phone to help find an item or remind you when your pet or kid is leaving you.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized networking protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses for interfaces and services. With DHCP, computers request IP addresses and networking parameters automatically from a DHCP server, reducing the need for a network administrator or a user to configure these settings manually.

FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name)

FQDN (fully qualified domain name) is an unambiguous domain name that specifies the exact location of a computer within the domain's hierarchy.

The complete domain name for a specific computer, or host, on the Internet. The FQDN consists of two parts: the host name and the domain name. An example is mycomputer.mydomain.com.

A URL that consists of a host and domain name, including top-level domain. For example, www.symantec.com is a fully qualified domain name. www is the host, symantec is the second-level domain, and .com is the top-level domain. An FQDN always starts with a host name and continues to the top-level domain name, so www.sesa.symantec.com is also an FQDN.
