Host not in any zone?

[Brian Salomaki]

Just a comment...as far as I know, WinXP home doesn't let you set a Windows 
NT domain.  This is totally different from setting a default search path, and 
typically does not involve DNS in any significant way.  NT domains are a way 
to manage file shares and access lists for NT workstations across a corporate 
network.  I can't even imagine that Microsoft, as braindead as some of their 
decisions may be, would remove the ability to have a default search path for 
name resolution.
