Windows 95 Does Not Retain Primary WINS Server IP Address

 * }

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you restart your computer, the WINS Server setting may not be retained. This setting is located on the WINS Configuration tab in the properties for the TCP/IP protocol.

CAUSE
Windows 95 requires both the primary and secondary entries for the WINS Server setting. If you enter only the primary WINS server's IP address, the setting is not retained.

RESOLUTION
If there is only one WINS server for the network, enter the IP address for the server in both the primary and secondary WINS Server setting boxes.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
