SYMPTOMS
After you create a network name resource on a Microsoft Windows NT-based server running Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4, when you try to bring the resource on line, it may fail over to the other node. When this occurs, it may fail between both nodes until it goes off line.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if the "Enable NetBIOS for this IP address" feature is disabled for your network name resource. Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 enables the "Enable NetBIOS for this IP address" feature, and if this feature is disabled, any network name resource that depends on that Internet protocol (IP) address does not work when you try to bring it on line. Note that this behavior can inadvertently be caused by using the Cluster Administrator tool on a computer running Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 to administer a cluster that has been updated to Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, verify that the "Enable NetBIOS for this IP address" feature is enabled for your network name resource or resources by using the version of Cluster Administrator that is included with Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
