The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a service included with Windows 2000 Server that automatically configures TCP/IP systems with the IP addresses and other settings they need to operate. This eliminates the need to manually configure each workstation and to maintain records of the IP addresses assigned to the systems on the network. After installing the service, you use the DHCP console to specify the IP addresses and other parameters that you want to assign. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a service that resolves IP addresses into their host names. When you connect to a site on the Internet with a Web browser, for example, the browser first contacts a DNS server to resolve the server name in the URL you specified into an IP address. DNS is also an integral component of Active Directory. Windows 2000 Server includes a DNS service, but many networks use the DNS servers supplied by their ISPs. After installation, you use the DNS console to configure the service. The Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) performs the same function for NetBIOS names that the DNS does for host names. When a pre-Windows 2000 computer attempts to communicate with another system on the Windows network, it sends the system’s NetBIOS name to a WINS server, which responds with the system’s IP address. WINS can work together with DHCP by automatically registering the names of workstations as the DHCP server assigns IP addresses to them. You configure WINS using the WINS console. The final phase of the Widows 2000 installation process begins with the setup program installing the default networking components, including the driver for the network interface card the program has detected, the Client for Microsoft Networks, and the TCP/IP protocols.
