1. A method of controlling a display device accessing a broadcast receiver via a web browser, the method comprising:

  • accessing a web address corresponding to an application contained in the broadcast receiver via the web browser;

    receiving IP (internet protocol) address information mapped to the web address from a DNS (domain name server);

    accessing the application of the broadcast receiver using the received IP address;

    receiving data of the application from the accessed broadcast receiver; and

    displaying content of the application on a screen of the display device based on the received data of the application,wherein the DNS stores a MAC address, a web address and an IP address of the broadcast receiver by mapping the MAC address, the web address and the IP address to each other, andwherein, if a transmission request signal of an IP address corresponding to the web address is received, the DNS receives the IP address of the broadcast receiver from a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server and transmits the IP address of the broadcast receiver to the display device.
