Whatever device is handling DNS name resolution for a subnet / network, if a DNS Zone is configured for the same DNS Suffix configured for client computer, make sure of the following: Eliminate all wildcard entries. IE, if a name from this zone is checked and it doesn't exist, it should return no answer. If it doesn't, Windows will never move down it's list of how it does name resolution and will never arrive at the WINS or broadcast step: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-tcp-ip-host-name-resolution-order-dae00cc9-7e9c-c0cc-8360-477b99cb978a | Whatever device is handling DNS name resolution for a subnet / network, if a DNS Zone is configured for the same DNS Suffix configured for client computer, make sure of the following: Eliminate all wildcard entries.

In short, there are several services that need to be enabled, by setting them to "automatic startup" and / or starting them; | In short, there are several services that need to be enabled, by setting them to "automatic startup" and / or starting them; | ||

=== NetBIOS over TCIP === | |||
Even if it enabled everywhere, when ''ipconfig /all'' is used, it still shows as disabled. No solution has been found. Even this detailed solution didn't work: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-networking/netbios-over-tcpip-broken-since-upgrade-to/fd141dd9-8500-419d-b8e7-ac7255f44ec0 | |||
In the end, NetBIOS is related to the name of a computer. NetBEUI is the protocol for resource sharing (or it used to be a long time ago). NetBIOS name resolution will still work via broadcasts, but if computers are on different subnets, well, the solution still hasn't been found. | |||
