DNS and DHCP

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi, I'm a little confused between DHCP and DNS. I have a second computer in
my network that can't connect to the Internet. The ISP has a diagnostics
feature which checks the settings of the connection in a computer, and the
only problem found was that the DNS server can't be pinged. My DHCP server is
okay. Is the DNS server and the DHCP server the same? (DSL router)
The computer is Win XP Home SP2.
Thanks.
