It's called a DHCP server. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol.

You don't need a stand-alone server to provide that function. Almost all routers (wired or wireless) will provide the function or "service", as it's called. And most operating systems will provide some level of it built in. Sometimes it's part of the "internet sharing" function.

DHCP allows a computer to join an IP-based network without having a pre-configured IP address.
