When you use the Web or send an e-mail message, you use a domain name to do it. For example, the URL "http://www.yahoo.com" contains the domain name "yahoo.com". So does the e-mail address "xyz@yahoo.com." \nHuman-readable names like "yahoo.com" are easy for people to remember, but they don't do machines any good. All of the machines use names called IP addresses to refer to one another. For example, the machine that humans refer to as "www.yahoo.com" has the IP address "66.94.234.13". Every time you use a domain name, you use the Internet's domain name servers (DNS) to translate the human-readable domain name into the machine-readable IP address. During a day of browsing and e-mailing, you might access the domain name servers hundreds of times! \n\nDomain name servers translate domain names to IP addresses. That sounds like a simple task, and it would be -- except for five things: \n\nThere are billions of IP addresses currently in use, and most machines have a human-readable name as well. \nThere are many billions of DNS requests made every day. A single person can easily make a hundred or more DNS requests a day, and there are hundreds of millions of people and machines using the Internet daily. \nDomain names and IP addresses change daily. \nNew domain names get created daily. \nMillions of people do the work to change and add domain names and IP addresses every day. \nThe DNS system is a database, and no other database on the planet gets this many requests. No other database on the planet has millions of people changing it every day, either. That is what makes the DNS system so unique!

Ping can be used to see if another server is running or to measure the distance to another servers. It is short for Packet Internet Groper. A utility that forwards data packets to check the quality of a link or verify the connection of a machine to the Internet.\n\nThe domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated into IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember "handle" for an Internet address. Because maintaining a central list of domain name/IP address correspondences would be impractical, the lists of domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the Internet in a hierarchy of authority.\n\nwhile\n\nA DSN stores the data source information necessary for the Driver Manager to connect to the database. This can be configured either through the ODBC Administrator or in a DSN file. On Windows, the information is called a system or user DSN and is stored in the Registry. Data source information can also be stored in text configuration files, as is the case on UNIX.

Domain Name System\n\nIt converts a domain name, such as answers.yahoo.com into an IP address such as 9.44.120.7 which is used by the network to locate computers

This is a setting that gets change with the company you registered your domain name with.  \n\nFor example: If you bought your domain through godaddy.com, you would need to go to their website, login with the information they provided when you registered and change the dns settings.\n\nYou probably already know this part, but the setting you are looking for look something like: \ndns.yourhostingcompanyname.com\ndns.yourhostingcompanyname2.com\n\nFeel free to contact me directly if you need more assistance.

Domain name is not a Universal resourse locator.  NOr is it the name of a website.  It is a name that you own.  Usually something that you can group your resources under.  Several DNS records are available.\n\n\n\nA records provide a pointer to a resource.  Usually to a website\n\nMX records are mail records pointing to a email server.\n\nany ways a domain is like having an address to which all of your family can be found.  Rent one for about 9 bucks a year if you want to provide your own email server and web server\n\nRent one for about 9 to 15 a month and some one will include them for you.\n\nDo your buisness right and find some one who knows what they are doing to create your web site....  its worth the money.

Try clicking Start, Run, and type in "cmd" without quotes, then click OK. Then type "ipconfig /flushdns" without quotes and hit ENTER. This flushes your local DNS cache.\n\nDNS is a way for your computer that google.com = 72.14.207.99. It translates internet names into IP addresses. The DNS cache is a local copy of all the DNS requests your computer has made to DNS servers, which saves time so it won't have to request it next time.\n\nBe aware: the answer below (IE history etc) will not clear your DNS cache. It only clears History, cookies and IE settings.

It is one of many servers that assign IP address schemes to a computer (called a node in network jargon). The IP address stands for Internet Protocol and the main Internet Protocol used is TCP/IP. The current IP address scheme that DHCP servers assigns allows for over a billion nodes and uses a sophisticated scheme of binary to hexidecimal number conversion to manipulate the IP address into a network address and finally a subnet mask.

DNS :Domain Name Service\nif you don't have DNS on your network you should go to a network resource just with it's IP address and not it's network name.then you should have a list of ipaddress of each computer.because memorizing alot of IP addresses is not easy but memorizing names is.\n//192.168.20.214 or //sales ? which one easier?

I just want to clear some doubts about your question.\n\n1) If you have a windows domain, there must be a DNS server. It may be an Active directory integrated DNS or a Stand Alone DNS. So check all servers wheather they have DNS.\n\n2) If all the other servers dont have any issue with logging in, then how can you say that this issue will be solved by configuring an additional DNS. \n\n3) No need for a confusion about the IP used for DNS. It must be a priviate IP not the IP of the ISP. The DNS inside your lan is used for resolving your local addresses. The DNS address specified in the ethernet card of the ISP is for resolving the website addrsses to ips while browsing. \n\nI dont think that placing a DNS will solve the issue. Check the DNS address entered in the Problamatic Server. If that entry is wrong, it may cause a delay. Check wheather any service is causing any errors in startup.\n\nAny help, just shout.\n\nShaba!

plain and simply put, a server is the computer which directs network traffic (ie. permits or denies), it provides services to clients (ie. print, DHCP, DNS, File Sharing, Storage, and many more). A client is ANY machine that utilizes said services from a Server, being this is true, at times if a server is using services from another server, then the one server is in effect a client.

In order to set something like this up, you need to be looking at setting up a cluster.  Some OS's support this, and there are some hardware solutions (Foundry makes one) that do it as well.  \n\nYou can't really do it with DNS records though.  If you're getting enough hits to have to worry about this, you need a more robust solution than anything you could do with DNS.
