- Configuring NetBIOS Name Resolution
Day 3: TCP/IP - Name Resolution - DNS and WINS
Module 6: Resolving Host Names by Using Domain Name System (DNS)
This module provides you with the knowledge and skills to resolve host names by using Domain Name System.
Lessons
- Multimedia: The Role of DNS in the Network Infrastructure
- Installing the DNS Server Service
- Configuring the Properties for the DNS Server Service
- Configuring the DNS Zones
- Configuring DNS Zone Transfers
- Configuring DNS Dynamic Updates
- Configuring a DNS Client
- Delegating Authority for Zones
Module 7: Managing and Monitoring Domain Name System (DNS)
This module provides you with the knowledge and skills to manage and monitor DNS servers to ensure that they are functioning properly and to optimize network performance.
Lessons
- Configuring the Time-to-Live Value
- Configuring Aging and Scavenging
- Integrating DNS and WINS
- Testing the DNS Server Configuration

Module 8: Resolving NetBIOS Names by Using Windows Internet Name Service (WINS)
This module provides you with the knowledge and skills to use WINS to register NetBIOS names and resolve them to IP addresses.
Lessons
- Multimedia: The Role of WINS in the Network Infrastructure
- Installing and Configuring a WINS Server
- Managing Records in WINS
- Configuring WINS Replication
- Managing the WINS database
Day 4: TCP/IP - Client Configuration and Troubleshooting
Module 9: Configuring a Client IP Address
