Domain Name Resolution Order

G

Guest

Hi,

I am trying to change the order of Domain Name Resolution on a Windows XP
SP2 computer. The default order for Domain Name Resolution within XP is:

1.Hosts File
2.Domain Name System
3.Netbios

However I would like to change the order to:

1.Domain Name System
2.Hosts File
3.Netbios

How can I change this order?

I have already tried changing this order by editing some registry keys,
however this did not work. This is what I tried to do:

I changed the values of these registry keys:

DnsPriority = 30
HostsPriority = 75
NetbtPriority = 100
LocalPriority = 200

These subkeys can be found under this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\ServiceProvider to.

Thanks.
