DNS Registry Hack
What, if any, benefits would their be in performing the following. It was found at MVPS.ORG and recommended if using their hosts file with DNS Client in manual or disabled.
----
# Flush the existing DNS cache
# Start > Run (type) regedit
# Navigate to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters
# Click Edit > New > DWORD Value (type) MaxCacheTtl
# Click Edit > New > DWORD Value (type) MaxNegativeCacheTtl
# Next right-click on the MaxCacheTtl entry (right pane) and select: Modify and change the value to 1
# The MaxNegativeCacheTtl entry should already have a value of 0 (leave it that way - see screenshot)
# Close Regedit and reboot ..

P.S. forgot to say it is for a laptop. I have tried it and my boot time trebled.
What effect, as above, would using the hack with DNS on auto and not using the hosts file.
