Name Resolution

by gsheplavy . Updated 24 years, 9 months ago

I have a NT 4.0 server running DHCP and WINS. Clients are assigned the WINS server address, ip address, gateway and at h-nodes. The clients are Windows 95, 98 & NT. We have a DSL connection to the internet. The problem is if the DSL link is downit takes forever for name resolution to happen. From what I’ve read h-node should check the WINS server first and find our internal names. We use a terminal emulator and use a name versus an ip address to connect to our server. Am I missing something or is there anyway to have it check WINS first? Thanks
