Fixes made in this update:

By Component:

Component:  AFD

• 090629_KB972305 - A problem initializing the socket for one network interface would cause the name resolution code to abort the query instead of using other available interfaces.

• 090630_KB971882 - This update addresses the issue with unability to resolve names via LLMNR when DNS Server is present. REG_DWORD value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AFD\DnsManagedNet controls this behavior. If it not present, or if it is set to a non-zero value, then the previous behavior still applies. If it is set to zero, then LLMNR and/or WINSBC will be used even when a server responds with "Name not found".
