DNS Client in Services
Good morning all,
I've heard conflicting opinions as to whether one should run the DNS Client in Services of not (Automatic, Manual, Or not). I kinda think it's not a necessary, but I want to make sure. I do know if it's disabled one cannot /flushdns,or possible other command-line tasks. Any help/comments strongly appreciated. -- TIA, Curt Windows Support Center www.aumha.org Practically Nerded,... http://dundats.mvps.org/Index.htm Curt Christianson |

Re: DNS Client in Services
Sure, you can do that. Quoted from MS, "The DNS Client service optimizes the performance of DNS name resolution by storing previously resolved names in memory. If the DNS Client service is turned off, the computer can still resolve DNS names by using the network's DNS servers".

Hi
What are the gains of shutting it off? Jack (MVP-Networking).
