addresses. Devices have a host

 

 

 

name registered with the WINS

Windows Internet Naming Service

 

 

 

(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

 

 

 

computers running Windows and

 

 

 

can provide name resolution for

 

 

 

other computers set with special

 

 

 

arrangements.

DNS server. Enables name

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.
