To form an Intranet network, computers are connected by physical cable and network cards. As each network card bears a globally unique identification number, computers can identify the others and be distinguished from each other. This unique card identification number is also referred to as physical address which usually takes the form like 00:4a:2e:43:57:04.

192.168.0.2 HostNo2
192.168.0.3 HostNo3 DNS Server
192.168.0.4 HostNo4 Gateway
The question is how does computer HostNo1 find HostNo2 and talk to it?
