More like you telnet to "foo" and the computer fills in foo.bar.net. I
understand how it could be convenient, but I've never really relied on it.
I do not know the answer to the question. It was definitely a trivial
feature in older Windows versions, so I'm surprised it isn't trivial still.

I may be showing my ignorance, but what is a DNS suffix? I assume you

Is this a feature where if you don’t enter a domain name, it fills in
a default? Like if your domain is foo.bar and you address an email to
just paul, it assumes you mean p...@foo.bar?

Anybody know the magic secret of how to make DNS suffixes actually
work in Windows 10.
Mine stopped working when I upgrade to Windows 10 a couple years ago,
and I never got around to figuring it out. Under TCP/IPv4, advanced,
DNS, Append these….. it seems to ignore it. On my home computer
(workgroup) I have it defined and it lists the primary suffix in
ipconfig /all. On my office domain, I have 2 suffixes defined, one
shows up in ipconfig, yet doesn’t not work.
Googled a bit, no success. PIA
