Understanding NetworkName Resolution
It’s a BOB Thing
 
 
Name Resolution
All communications betweencomputers and any other devices on a TCP/IP networkare addressed using IPaddresses, such as“192.168.15.2”.
Name resolution provides amethod of referring tocomputers by name instead of using network addresses.
Windows has historically usedtwo separate namingschemes: host naming andNetBIOS naming.
Starting with the productsreleased at the time of Windows 2000, Microsoft hasbeen eliminating the need touse NetBIOS naming inMicrosoft networks.
 
 
Host Name Resolution

DNS has been the standard method of resolvingWindows Networking resources since Windows2000
The “hosts” file provides local name resolutionfor TCP/IP-based functions
