For WinNT 4.0 in H-node - Q142309 Q119493 is a good article describing the different node types.
NetBIOS name cache WINS server - 3 queries 1.5 second timeout. B-node broadcast - 3 broadcasts with 750ms timeout. LMHOSTS file HOSTS file DNS server I thought I read somewhere that Win2K reverses the WINS and DNS portion of the lookups, but can not find this article any more. -----Original Message----- From: Andy David [mailto:davida@;vss.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 8:42 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: VPN breaks Outlook I think its still the same in W2k as well - an h-node WINS client will check hosts and a DNS server last even if you have enabled "DNS for Windows Name Resolution" to resolve *netbios* names. Specific apps like Outlook, etc. of course use hosts and DNS first. Heck, I could be wrong, I havent looked it up. The only thing I am sure about anymore is that college-aged girls are starting to call me "Sir". -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:roger.seielstad@;inovis.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 8:27 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: VPN breaks Outlook I believe that was changed with Win2k - the behavior you describe is 100% correct NT4 and before. I can't remember if that's been a strictly observational thing or if I read it somewhere, but I believe I read it somewhere. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
