Slow Time-Out Trying to Connect to Nonexistent Computer

 * }

Q130851

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you are using an application that uses Remote Registry Services (such as System Monitor) and you try to connect to a computer that does not exist on the network, it may take several minutes before you receive a response indicating that the remote computer cannot be located or connected to.

CAUSE
This situation can occur because Domain Name Service (DNS) resolution is using User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to send name-resolution packets to the DNS server, which is unreachable. When this occurs, the resolver times out repeatedly, taking approximately one minute per attempt.

RESOLUTION
To work around this situation, remove the TCP/IP protocol from the network adapter or the dial-up adapter.

MORE INFORMATION
This situation can occur if you have the following configuration:


 * A physical LAN connection.
 * Dial-Up Networking is installed.
 * The TCP/IP protocol is installed and is bound to both the network adapter and the Dial-Up Networking adapter.
 * The system is configured for Remote Registry Services.
