Phillip Windell said:DNS uses Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) with "dot notation". DNS is
routed and directed (not broadcast-based).
WINS uses a flat namespace with single-word names and no dots. It is based
on Netbios non-routable, broadcast-based technology. WINS is just a server
that holds a Netbios Name listing to help hosts overcome the non-routable
issue so they can resolve names from across subnets
DNS compares to the old "Host" files, while WINS compares to the old LMHosts
files.

Daniel Tan said:Phillip, do you mean that dns is routed in terms of resolving names ?
do you mean like resolving name using caching and zones ? i was
referring to netbios name resolution. btw dns should be more efficient
then wins, right ?
