What is the way to distribute IP addresses automatically?
A DHCP server will assign addresses and network masking automatically.
What is a DHCP sever used for?
A DHCP server will assign IP addresses, and other network parameters, automatically, to computers who ask for it. In Windows, if you select that you want the computer to get an IP address automatically, it will try to get the IP address (and other parameters) from a DHCP server.The idea is to reduce the amount of configuration required for each computer, especially in larger networks.
What is the potential benefit of using a DHCP server within a network?
The benefit would be to automatically assign network addresses to clients that need them to work on a local area network. Without DHCP you would have to assign each device an address, subnet mask, and default gateway, plus DNS and WINS server addresses, which can be time consuming and error prone. With DHCP, most of those problems disappear.
How can you assign two IP addresses to one computer?
You have to have 2 network cards in the computer. I can not thing of any other way of doing something like that. Why would you need 2 address for a computer anyways?
What is the utility used to dynamically assign IP addresses to network devices?
dhcp
When connecting to a network by default Windows assumes static IP addressing and automatically configures the network connection?
No, Windows normally assumes that the network uses DHCP and it attempts to find a DHCP server on the network. If it cannot find one it will eventually assign a 169.x.x.x address but it will not assign the gateway or the DNS addresses when it assigns the 169.x.x.x address.
What server has a range of IP addresses it can assign to clients on the network?

How are IP addresses assigned from a pool of IP addresses?
That means that the DHCP server keeps track of what IP addresses - out of a pool (or set) of addresses - have been assigned. Any time a host (computer or similar) requests an IP address, the DHCP server will assign an available address and mark it, in its memory, as "assigned" so it won't assign the same address to another computer.That means that the DHCP server keeps track of what IP addresses - out of a pool (or set) of addresses - have been assigned.

Which IP address is reserved for Automatic private ip addressing?
I think you're thinking of the protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses? An IP address does not assign an IP address, and IP address is a node on a network where data can be sent or received. The protocol used for automatic assigning of IP addresses would be DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
Maximum number of hosts class c Address?
254 - a class C subnet uses 8 bits for the hosts and 0 and 255 are reserved.
Which service allows you to assign IP addresses and other addressing info to hosts automatically?
DHCP (Dynamic host connectivity protocol)
Do you have to use Auto-Obtain IP Address?
That is mainly used for larger networks. For a home network, just assign the IP address manually.Auto-obtaining an IP address requires configuring a DHCP server - the machine that will assign those addresses, out of a specified address pool.That is mainly used for larger networks.
