SYMPTOMS
After you set the value for the EnableDNS registry entry to 1 in the registry of a Microsoft Windows 2000-based client computer, that client computer does not use Domain Name Service (DNS) name resolution when it logs on to a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 domain.

Note You configure the EnableDNS registry entry in the following registry subkey on a Windows 2000-based client computer:



CAUSE
This issue occurs if the Windows 2000-based client computer tries to resolve certain network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) group names. The NetBIOS transport explicitly blocks DNS requests for names where the byte 16 identifier is one of the following identifiers:

<01>

<1B>

<1C>

<1D>

<1E>



MORE INFORMATION
For additional information about the default byte 16 values that are appended to unique NetBIOS computer names by various Microsoft networking services, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Additional query words: 16th-byte identifier
