Which are the two ways to resolve computer names to IP addresses?

  1. DNS and HOSTS file

  2. WINS and LMHOSTS file

  3. HOSTS file and WINS

  4. DNS and WINS

The correct answer is: WINS and LMHOSTS file

Both options A and C are incorrect because they list one correct and one incorrect way to resolve computer names to IP addresses. The HOSTS file is used to resolve computer names to IP addresses for small networks, but it cannot be used for larger networks. WINS is used for resolving computer names to IP addresses in Windows environments, but it does not work for other operating systems. Therefore, the correct answer is B, as it includes both WINS and the LMHOSTS file.
