The two services that provide hostname to IP address resolution are DHCP and DNS.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network. It can provide the IP address of a device based on its hostname, which allows other devices on the network to communicate with that device using its hostname rather than its IP address.

DNS (Domain Name System) is a hierarchical naming system that translates human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses (like 192.168.1.1) that are used by network devices to communicate with each other. DNS servers maintain a database of domain name and IP address mappings, which allows devices to quickly and easily resolve hostnames to IP addresses.

The other services listed are not related to hostname to IP address resolution:

NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a network protocol used to synchronize the clocks of network devices.

NAT/PAT (Network Address Translation/Port Address Translation) is a technique used to map private IP addresses to public IP addresses for devices on a network.

WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) is a legacy service used by older versions of Windows to provide hostname to IP address resolution.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a protocol used to access and manage directory information services, such as user accounts and group memberships.
