IP Address (Internet Protocol): Is a numerical address of a server/computer/phone in a network or on the Internet. An IP address is in the form of "a.b.c.d" where a,b,d and d are numbers of 0-255.
DNS (Domain Name Service): A domain name solves the problem of having to remember IP address for any website/computer.... For example, "google.com" is a domain name. In other words
www.google.com maps to the IP address of Google's server.
Here is a little experiment for you.
1. In the Start Menu, click Run.
2. When the Run dialog appears, type "cmd" without the quotes. This brings up the command prompt.
3. In the command prompt, type "ping
http://www.google.com"
It will show the IP address of google.com. Note down this IP.
4. Open Internet Explorer, and type "http:\ip-address" in the address bar. It will just load
http://www.google.com homepage.

No it won't. But it will if you type "ping
www.google.com" instead...
