256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
SUMMARYThe Routing and Remote Access service assigns Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) and DNS addresses to clients when they dial in. Clients register their IP addresses with these servers. The WINS and DNS addresses that are assigned to dial-up or VPN clients are the same as the addresses that are configured for the Routing and Remote Access service server's network adapter, either statically or by using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Beginning in Windows 2000, you can configure the network adapter that is used for this information on the TCP/IP tab in the Routing and Remote Access service server properties. Routing and Remote Access service always hands out WINS and DNS addresses to clients unless the option to do so is turned off in the registry.
