|
|
| (WINS) is a system that determines |
|
|
| the IP address associated with a |
|
|
| particular network computer. This is |

| called name resolution. WINS |
|
|
| supports network client and server |

| Domain Name System (or Domain |
|
|
| Name Service) [DNS] is an Internet |
|
|
| service that translates domain |
|
|
| names into IP addresses. Domain |
|
|
| names are alphabetic; therefore, |
|
|
| they are easier to remember. The |
|
|
| Internet is really based on IP |
|
|
| addresses. Each time a domain |
|
|
| name is used, a DNS service must |
|
|
| translate the name into the |
|
|
| corresponding IP address. |
