Which of the following servers allows clients to access network resources by computer name rather than by IP address?

WINS server
RAS server
NAS server
DHCP server

Explanation

Answer - A - WINS server allows clients to access network resources by computer name rather than by IP address.

Key Takeaway: Windows Internet Naming Service, or a WINS server, is a Microsoft NetBIOS name server that resolves NetBIOS names to IP address. The clients are allowed to access network resources by computer name rather than by IP address. It is required for any environment in which the users access resources that have NetBIOS names. WINS database supports centralized management and replicates name-to-address mappings to other WINS servers.
