DHCP is what gives the computers on your network their IP addresses.
DYNAMIC HOST CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL

DNS is what converts the words google.com to the ip address 74.125.4.100
DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM

These are essential for any network to function properly(well not dhcp, but you would need static ip's for everything, and face it...we're too lazy for that )
