Windows Embedded CE resolves host names into IPv6 addresses via queries to a DNS or WINS server, or via IPv6 link local multicast. Queries sent to DNS servers are performed over IPv6 and IPv4. Queries sent to WINS servers are performed over IPv4 even though they may return IPv6 addresses.

To use a host name as an alias for an IPv6 address, you must ensure that the name is unique and that it resolves to the correct IPv6 address. For IPv6 name-to-address entries, the IPv6 address is written by using standard colon-hexadecimal format. For more information, see IPv6 Addresses.

When using the getaddrinfo function, dual stack name resolution occurs. Domain names are resolved by sending DNS name queries to a configured DNS server. This is a computer that either stores domain name-to-IPv6 address mapping records or has records of other DNS servers. The DNS name resolution may yield both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

The DNS server resolves the queried domain name to an IPv4 or IPv6 address and returns the results. When configured for DHCP, the DHCP server provides IPv4 addresses of DNS and WINS servers used for both A and AAAA searches.

The DNS client in Windows CE .NET 4.1 and later also supports the processing of AAAA (quad-A) resource records. The internet Protocol (TCP/IP)must be configured with the IPv4 address of a DNS server.

The Host name is resolved to an address by a DNS, WINS, or Link Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) resolver
