[techtalk] network configuring

[Deepa Karnad]

One basic question. How can an IP address be assigned to a host? 
Tried many ways including Lisa. Could not figure out. 
I understand that there should be some way of accomplishing this. How else does a host know if the destination of a certain arrived packet is itself?
