| Why is my smartphone using WINS instead of DNS I have been having a problem for a while where I could get to some of my
servers on my LAN with my Motorola Q via VPN, but some I could not. I
racked my brains to make sure all my DNS records were fine and just could
not figure out why I could get to SERVER1 but not SERVER2.
Well I just went to configure something on my WINS server for a couple of
very old PCs we have that need WINS and I saw that every server I could not
get to did not have a WINS record configured. I added a WINS record now I
can get to those other servers.
Why would my WM5 mobile device be relying on WINS of all things for name
resolution instead of my DNS servers? |
