The process used on the network for resolving a computer address as a computer name. Name resolution enables computers to find and connect to other computers on the network.
The method of mapping friendly names to IP addresses. See also friendly name.
The process by which the Internet’s hierarchy of domain name servers translates domain names into IP addresses.
The process of associating a NetBIOS name or host name to an IP address.
Conversion of a symbolic host name (e.g. www.wmin.ac.uk) into an IP address. For small networks names may be resolved statically, using information stored in a file, but resolution is normally achieved dynamically by contacting a DNS server.
The process used on the network for resolving a computer address as a computer name, to support the process of finding and connecting to other computers on the network.
In a QNX Neutrino network, the process by which the Qnet network manager converts an FQNN to a list of destination addresses that the transport layer knows how to get to.
The process of translating (resolving) a symbolic name into its more efficient Internet address.
The process of translating a name into some object or information that the name represents.
The allocation of an IP address to a host name. See DNS.
The process of mapping a name into its corresponding address. See also: Domain Name System. [Source: RFC1208
The process of mapping a name into the corresponding address. For example, if you are trying to ping a host, if you type in an IP (Internet Protocol) address, the DNS will return a name in the bottom left corner of the ping box. If you type in a host name, the DNS will return an IP address. See DNS.
The process of associating a name to its corresponding address. For example, mapping a domain name to an IP address. Often used as a verb, i.e. "this domain name resolves to (points to) this location".
The process of converting a host name (URL, or domain name) into an IP address by a DNS Server. See also URL, Domain, TCP/IP, IP Address and DNS Server.
The process of having software translate between names that are easy for users to work with and numerical IP addresses, which are difficult for users but necessary for TCP/IP communications. Name resolution can be provided by software components such as DNS or WINS.
The process of converting a people-friendly alphanumeric system name or domain name into the IP address recognized by the network.
The process of mapping aliases to an address. The Domain Name System (DNS) is one system that does this.
The process of mapping a name into its corresponding IP address. See also Domain Name System. WWWebfx Home Page
The process of resolving a name to the object to which it is bound.
The process of mapping a name into its corresponding address. Seealso: Domain Name System.[Source: RFC1208] namespace
Generally, the process of associating a name with a network location.
The successful look-up of an IP address to discover the name of the networked computer it indicates. See DNS.
The process of mapping a name into a corresponding address. The domain name system provides a mechanism for naming computers in which programs use remote name servers to resolve machine names into IP addresses for those machines.
In computer science, name resolution (also called name lookup) is the process of finding the entity that an identifier used in a certain context refers to.
