connect to a web site your
computer sends information back
and forth. Some of this
information deals with resolving
the site name to an IP address, the stuff that TCP/IP really deals
with, not words. This is DNS
information and is used so that
you will not need to ask for the
site location each and every time
you visit the site. Although Windows XP and Windows XP

this with the registry entries below:
