WINS and DNS read names differently, that's what. ... The difference between ping and net use goes back to the network API that each command is based on.

DNS- Domain Name Server or Services.

WINS- Windows Internet Name Service.

DNS is resolve the web site name to IP address or you can say.

In WINS used a file name those is LMhost, this file in the System32, and when we put the websit name and its IP address, then it resolve the particular IP address those insert in the LMhost file.

DNS service is used to resolve website names to IP address.
WINS is used to identify computers by their computer names in a LAN. Network Administrators can configure a WINS server in a LAN and using this server all machines connected to the LAN can be identified. WINS provides IP to Computer name mapping
