Configure Name Resolution Services Page

Use the Configure Name Resolution Services page to:

The hostname value is stored in the CONFIG.SYS file; all other values are stored in the RESOLV2 file.

The fields and selections on this page are:

This Computer's Host Name

Specify a name for this host that is to be part of a fully-qualified host name. A fully-qualified host name includes both host and domain names, as follows:

poe.eng.mit.edu

The host name is poe and the domain name is eng.mit.edu.

Local Domain Name

Specify the domain where your host resides, including all subdomains and the root domain, separated by periods.

As an alternative, you can specify domains to be searched in the LAN Domain Search List list box. Do not specify both a local domain name and domains to be searched (if you do, the LAN Domain Search List will be used).

Name Server Addresses list box

This list contains the internet addresses (dotted-decimal IP addresses) of servers that resolve domain names to IP addresses. You can specify up to three domain name servers.

Select this list box and use the push buttons on this page to add, change, or delete domain name server addresses (dotted-decimal IP addresses).

LAN Domain Search List

This list contains the names of domains to be searched when a request is made using only a host name. A domain search list will override the domain keyword if both are configured. You can specify up to three domains to be searched.

Select this list box and use the push buttons on this page to add, change, or delete domains in the search list.
