SYMPTOMS
During an automated (or batch) installation of Windows 98, Domain Name Service (DNS) settings for the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol may not be added to the Windows 98 configuration, even though the correct DNS settings are specified in the [MSTCP] section of the batch (.inf) file.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if Dial-Up Networking is selected as an optional component to be installed during the automated installation. If Dial-Up Networking is installed during an automated installation, any DNS settings specified in the batch .inf file are not saved to the Windows configuration.
