DOMAIN NAME RESOLUTION (DNR)
• We know that communication between computers on a

network takes place with the help of IP addresses.
However, to access a particular website, you use its URL
(letter addressing) because it is much easier to
remember than the IP address (number addressing ).
• When you use URL to access a website , your computer

needs to find its matching IP addresses.
HOW DOES IT FIND ITS ADDRESS?
• By using domain name resolution (DNR). DNR is the name given to the
process by which your computer finds the address of the domain
names.
The DNR process takes place in the background and can be explained in
the following steps :
• 1. Enter the domain name of the website that you want to access in the
web browser.
• 2. The web browser issues a command to the operating system of your
computer to generate the IP address of the given domain name.
The domain name is resolve
according to the
configuration of the
operating system you are
using .Different operating
systems , such as windows
XP, windows 7, windows 10,
Linux and Unix have
different
configuration.
This is done in the
following manner::
• Generally the operation system maintains a HOSTS file, which contains a list of IP
addresses of some domain names. Therefore the operating system first checks this
file to find the IP address of the given domain name .
• If the IP address in not found in the hosts file, the operating system connects to the
DNS server on the network . the DNS server maintains a directory containing a list
of all the domains names and the IP addresses that are registered on the
internet . the DNS server finds the IP address of the given domain name and
returns it to the operating system.
• After obtaining the IP address, the operating system send it to the web browser
that has requested it.
