Wanna hear something funny? It's impossible to turn of WINS resolution
on the Windows CE platform. Unlike its bigger brother, Win95, you
can't make it do proper DNS resolution (this is 2nd hand from a convo
one of tech support had with M$ tech support). Kinda makes Windows CE
a bit broken for dialing into most ISPs :(
