Which network device is used to translate a domain name to the associated IP address?

The network device used to translate a domain name to the associated IP address is called a Domain Name System (DNS) server. Here are the steps explaining how it works:

1. When you type a domain name into your browser, your computer sends a request to the DNS server.
2. The DNS server looks up the IP address associated with that domain name.
3. The DNS server then responds to your computer with the corresponding IP address.
4. Your computer sends a request to the IP address to access the website.
5. The website's server responds to the request, allowing your computer to display the website in your browser.
