Hi everybody again,

Another couple of questions for you gurus

Which of the followìing is the correct (default) name resolution process in
win 2000/2003/XP?

a) DNS res first and Netbios res after (as I thought):

DNS Cache -> HOSTS file -> DNS query -> Netbios cache -> WINS query ->
Broadcast Netbios query - LMHOSTS

or

b) DNS res first and Netbios res after (as states in MOC 2276B for netbios
H-node type ):
Netbios cache -> NBNS (WINS) query -> Broadcast Netbios query - LMHOSTS ->
DNS Cache -> HOSTS file -> DNS query

Can the Netbios node type deal with the DNS name resolution process in any
way?
(In the PCs I installed I noticed that the node type was "Unknown" (0x0)
instead of Broadcast as It should be set as the default!)

Sadly, that doesn't make any sense to me!

thanks for any hints!

Hi MD,

HOSTS and LMHOSTS files should be all the way at the bottom. Make sure DNS
is first, NetBIOS is second.

Hi Montreal MCT!

That's what I thought too (apart from the fact that HOSTS file, as it
contains DNS pre-setted name to ip resolution, should be the 2nd step in my
opinion).

The problem is that I tried to sniff the traffic and all I saw was NBT
traffic...

As I replied inthe other thread I will try to see if MS Virtual Server 2005
Fixes this behaviour...
I'll let you know
Thanks again

MD

Hi everybody!

This post just to let you know that I've moved this question to a perhaps
more pertinet group:

microsoft.public.wondows.server.dns

Please post any comment there.

thanks a lot

MD
