----------------------------------------------------------- From: parvezdiwan Message 4 in Discussion Do you mean DSN or DNS. Your Mail subject says DSN. - DSN is a Data-Source Name which is required (or not required) depending on your implementation of SQL Server for an asp application. Alternately if your talking about DNS. - Domain Name Server, then that is a TCP/IP concept - Mainly a service which translates an IP into a friendly Domain Name. In a TCP/IP network (The Internet is a TCP/IP network) all destination servers or Workstations are identified by IP addresses. Like for eg. if you want to go to the vsnl site, to actually go there you have to type the right IP address. http://203.200.237.12/ but since we humans can't remember that many ip addresses of all the website , there is a directory which translates these IP addresses into friendly names. So 203.200.237.12 is mapped to www.vsnl.com. These entries of mapping are stored on a server called the DNS server. So when you type in www.vsnl.com, the request first goes to a DNS server which stores a table which has the entry of www.vsnl.com and the reference is to the valid ip, I have stated above. The request is then sent to the appropriate target server. once the dns name has been resolved. Hence DNS servers are very useful and essential. but it is mostly in the scope of your hosting provider. If you are hosting your application on the Internet with a service provider, then he will update his DNS zone or domain entries, which you don't have to worry about. If you are going to host it on your INTRANET, and assign a friendly name for your users to access it, then you have to tell your sys admin to make the appropriate zone entries in the your local DNS server. I have tried to explain it simply and not go into technicals on lookup zone etc. since its more in the area of IT PRO rather than development. Hope this helps.
