Windows 98
The resolver in Windows 98 is almost identical to Windows 95’s resolver. (Graphically, in fact, it is identical, so we won’t show you any screenshots.) The major differences between the two resolvers are due to the fact that Windows 98 ships with Winsock 2.0.[8] Winsock 2.0, for example, sorts responses as we described in the previous section on subnet prioritization. For details, see Knowledge Base article 182644.
Configuring DUN-specific name servers also works with Windows 98. The resolver queries the name servers listed in the TCP/IP Properties panel and the DUN-specific name servers simultaneously and takes the first positive answer it receives from either set. If the resolver receives only negative answers, it returns a negative answer.
[8] The version of Winsock in Windows 95 can be upgraded to 2.0; see Knowledge Base article 182108.
