SYMPTOMS
If you type "0.0.0.0" as the IP address of a replication partner, the WINS Administration tool assumes that you want the WINS server to replicate with itself. It uses the local server name as the replication partner.

If you type "255.255.255.255" as the IP address of a replication partner, the WINS Administration tool assumes that you want to replicate with a WINS server named "255," and then prompts you for for the IP address of the replication partner with the computer name "255."



CAUSE
These behaviors occur because 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are not valid IP addresses to assign to a computer.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
