The domain-name system (DNS) is a static, hierarchical name service for TCP/IP hosts.
The network administrator configures the DNS with a list of host names and IP addresses.
This allows users on the network to query the DNS to specify remote systems by host
names rather than IP addresses.

the network. Thereafter, WINS clients query the WINS server as needed to resolve remote
names.
WINS-enabled clients are computers that can be configured to make direct use of a WINS

register for use with the network. These names are used to publish various types of
network service, such as the Messenger or Workstation Service, that each computer can
use in various ways to communicate with other computers on the network. WINS-enabled
