| | Domain Name System (DNS) is the default name resolution service used in a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network. DNS is part of the Windows Server 2003 TCP/IP protocol suite and all TCP/IP network connections are, by default, configured with the IP address of at least one DNS server in order to perform name resolution on the network. |

| | The Domain Name System is a hierarchical naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participants. |

| | Hello friends
When you type a name, like "eff.org" into an internet program, it needs to find a way to map that to the internal routing number the internet really uses to reach the EFF computers. We at the EFF want you to be able to reach us using that name, too.
To do that, your computer uses DNS like a database. DNS translates from a name like "eff.org" into a raw number called an IP address. All internet traffic requires these numbers to work. Some computers do your DNS directly, but with most personal computers, your PC asks another computer at your ISP or corporation to do the work. The important point is that the looking up of the name is normally done by a computer you or your site controls, or one you pay to do such work for you.
That computer has a list that was installed in it by the people who run it. In almost all cases, that list just came with the DNS software, because everybody in the world uses a similar list. It's a list of what are known as the "root" servers of DNS. These are the master servers that can help you look up (resolve) any name you want to ask about.
Thanks for all friends |

| | Domain Name System (DNS) is the default name resolution service used in a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 network.DNS organizes hostnames in a domain hierarchy.Domain name servers, (DNS), are an incredibly important but completely hidden part of the Internet, and they are fascinating. Without DNS, the Internet would shut down very quickly. |

| | DNS organizes hostnames in a domain hierarchy. A domain is a collection of sites that are related in some sense—because they form a proper network (e.g., all machines on a campus, or all hosts on BITNET), because they all belong to a certain organization (e.g., the U.S. government), or because they're simply geographically close. For instance, universities are commonly grouped in the edu domain, with each university or college using a separate subdomain, below which their hosts are subsumed. Groucho Marx University have the groucho.edu domain, while the LAN of the Mathematics department is assigned maths.groucho.edu. Hosts on the departmental network would have this domain name tacked onto their hostname, so erdos would be known as erdos.maths.groucho.edu. This is called the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), which uniquely identifies this host worldwide. |
