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.

Domain Name System (or Domain
Name Service) [DNS] is an Internet
service that translates domain
names into IP addresses. Domain
names are alphabetic; therefore,

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.
