DNS (domain name service) and DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) are two different but related services that allow a computer to be automatically assigned an IP address and other related information when it first connects to the network. DHCP is used when a computer is first connected to the network, while DNS is used when a computer is trying to find a specific website or other resource.

The main difference between DHCP and DNS is that DHCP assigns an IP address and other configuration information to a computer when it first connects to the network, while DNS assigns a name to a computer when it tries to find a specific resource. For example, if you try to visit www.google.com from your computer, DNS will assign the name “google.com” to your computer and will provide the IP address for you to connect to the website. If you want to visit www.

yahoo.com, you would need to manually enter the IP address for www.yahoo.com into your browser.
