1. First, open the Windows Registry using Regedit, and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip
\ServiceProvider
2. Note the following lines (all hex dwords):
Class = 008
LocalPriority = 1f3 (499) - local names cache
HostsPriority = 1f4 (500) - the HOSTS file
DnsPriority = 7d0 (2000) - DNS
NetbtPriority = 7d1 (2001) - NetBT name-resolution, including WINS
3. What we're aiming to do is increase the priority of the last 4
settings, while keeping their order. The valid range is from -32768 to
+32767 and lower numbers mean higher priority compared to other
services. What we're aiming at is lower numbers without going to
extremes, something like what's shown below should work well:
4. Change the "Priority" lines to:
LocalPriority = 005 (5) - local names cache
HostsPriority = 006 (6) - the HOSTS file
DnsPriority = 007 (7) - DNS
NetbtPriority = 008 - NetBT name-resolution, including WINS
5. Reboot for changes to take effect...
