SYMPTOMS
When you type a static mapping in the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) database, you may only see one entry appear. That entry has no sixteenth character hexadecimal identifier.

For example, you might type a unique static mapping for a computer with the NetBIOS name of RHINO having an IP address of 192.0.0.1. You expect to see the following entries:

  RHINO(00h)      192.0.0.1 RHINO(03h)     192.0.0.1 RHINO(20h)     192.0.0.1

However, you may see the following instead:

  RHINO      192.0.0.1



CAUSE
WINS Manager is not configured to display the database using LAN Manager- compatible conventions.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, enable the LAN Manager-compatible feature by performing the following steps:
 * 1) In WINS Manager, click Options, and then click Preferences.
 * 2) Click LAN Manager-Compatible to enable the option.
 * 3) Click OK.
