SYMPTOMS
When you use a domain name service (DNS) to resolve NetBIOS names, failures occur if the name being resolved is an alias or "CNAME."



CAUSE
VNBT.386 is not correctly parsing DNS responses that contain multiple answer sections. This can cause unexpected behavior as text in the second answer section may be interpreted as an IP address.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in TCP/IP-32 for Windows for

Workgroups versions 3.11 and 3.11a. This problem was corrected in TCP/IP-32

for Windows for Workgroups version 3.11b.

TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups version 3.11b is available on the

Windows NT 3.51 compact disc.
