Figure 2 – The Vista Resolver
Microsoft’s Vista resolver is doing a lot of work trying to find out the IP address or IP addresses for the
name “mfp1”.
First, the name “mfp1” is a single label name. In contrast, “mfp1.example.com” would
be a multi-label name.
The resolver must perform the most work with single label names because
single label names can fit a variety of name resolution protocols and Vista1 may need to try all of
them.
If the name was a multi-label name, then only DNS would be used (Numbers 1 and 2 in Figure
2) because the other name resolution protocols only support single label names.
Second, because the
network is an ad-hoc network or Link Local network, there is no DNS configuration, no WINS
configuration, and the lookup up LAN Manager hosts (LMHOSTS) is disabled by default.
Essentially,
this is Vista1’s default configuration.
Third, if any of the steps one through seven in Figure 2 are
