j.,
LOL! I get this rec from my Sister also!!!
While I agree that there does seem to be an awful lot of stuff in my
dgl-4300 dlink router, I have not yet found the dns server. I will go
look again, however.
I do have some option to use Dynamic DNS, but all the docs indicate this
is only for use if I am joining an existing domain.
I also have something called Virtual Server, but the docs indicate that
this is really for controlling stuff I choose to place in a dmz, which I
do not use.
Thanks,
Duncan

DNS is part of most every router, why one would not use it...

I know what a WINS server is suppose to do.
I also accept that IT is poo-poo'd here on the list!

I do not use a local DNS server.
I do not use "domain" on my LAN.
?I also have dedicated lmhosts files on each machine!
(I am told that the use of lmhosts files is very OLD Tech!)
If I now use a WINS Server, should I:
a) delete/kill all my lmhosts files?
b) leave my LAN as it is?
I am getting ready to start a backup for my NAS, and, there is lots of
noise (to me) about how my LAN has to be setup for this backup
business to work.
Thank you,
Duncan
