SUMMARY
=======
 
This article describes how to disable NetBIOS name resolution on a domain-
name system (DNS) while retaining other DNS functionality.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
When Windows 95 tries to resolve a NetBIOS name using a NetBIOS name
server, it first checks a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server, and
then checks a DNS server.
 
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems 
that may require you to reinstall Windows 95. Microsoft cannot guarantee 
that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be 
solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
 
NOTE: For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing 
Keys And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note 
that you should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and 
User.dat) before you edit the registry.
 
To disable NetBIOS name resolution on a DNS server, change the string
value
 
   EnableDNS
 
in the registry key
 
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP
 
from 1 to 0.
