DHC Protocol is something that is responsible for providing you as "a device", address in the network. This is something that is predominant in a router. Where as DN Systems is what translates any resources in the Web into Internet Protocol addresses.So, to summarize DHCP identifies you in a network, DNS finds the resources on it.
