Dns_off.inf and Dns_on.inf Files Are Not Used in Windows 98 SE

The Dns_off.inf and Dns_on.inf files as well as the Domain Name System (DNS) entry in the Ics.adm file are not used in the released version of Windows 98 Second Edition.

The Dns_off.inf, Dns_on.inf, and Ics.adm files are located in the CD-ROM\Tools\MTSUTILS\ICS folder, where CD-ROM is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.

When you use the Dns_off.inf or Dns_on.inf file, or the DNS option in the Ics.adm file, you create the EnableDNS value in the following registry key: The released version of Windows 98 Second Edition does not use this registry key.

If you need to configure a non-default DNS server, you need to configure the client computer's TCP/IP settings. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network.
2. Double-click the TCP/IP binding that is connected to the ICS host computer. For example, double-click TCP/IP->NE2000 compatiable adapter.
3. On the DNS Configuration tab, click Enable DNS.
4. In the Host Name box, type a DNS name for your network.
5. Click Add, type the TCP/IP address of the DNS server you use, and then click Add.
6. Click OK, click OK, and then restart your computer when you are prompted.
