The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups 3.11
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q119372 SUMMARY
The Microsoft TCP/IP-32 stack uses various means to resolve a host name to
an IP address of a given host. Four mechanisms are used; Local Cached
Information, Hosts File, DNS Servers, and NetBIOS name resolution
mechanisms. The default resolution order for resolving a host name is Local
Cached Information -> Hosts File -> DNS Servers -> NetBt (NetBIOS over
TCP/IP). NetBIOS over TCP/IP name resolution can consist of local subnet
broadcasts.
