Domain Name System (or Service or Server) :

An Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain
names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember.

However the Internet, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain
name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP
address.

For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4.

The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn't know how to
translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP
address is returned.

Short for digital nervous system,a term coined by Bill Gates to describe a network of
personal computers that make it easier to obtain and understand information.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) :

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server assigns IP addresses to client computers.


This is very often used in enterprise networks to reduce configuration efforts. All
IP addresses of all computers are stored in a database that resides on a server
machine.

DHCP Server assigns IP addresses to multiple clients


This is a very simple and easy to use implementation of a DHCP Server for Windows
based systems supporting all Windows operating systems from Windows 98 to
Windows 8.

The configuration data as well as the client database is kept in an INI file.The DHCP
Server runs instantly without any installation as a service or application.

DHCP Server is free software: it can be used and redistributed for both academic and
commercial purposes at absolutely no cost.
There are no royalties or GNU-like copyleft restrictions.
There is no requirements such as including copyright messages or logos involved in
using the software.
The software is provided as is, without warranty of any kind.
