[QUOTE="Rich, post: 6635112"] Hello, My colleagues and I are trying to answer this question. Can anyone help? How can you tell what is resolving a name (DNS, WINS, or HOSTS)? our network runs both DNS and WINS, and many clients have a HOSTS file. Is there a way to verify how a hostname is actually being resolved? Also, if I use a FQDN, does DNS resolve it (assuming there is an entry)? Or can WINS resolve it? Also, the opposite. If I use a NETBios name, is it automatically resolved by WINS, or can DNS resolve it. What happens if there is an entry in DNS, WINS and host file? What is the order or precedence? TIA, Rich [/QUOTE]
