Windows 95 Clients Registering in WINS as Multihomed Computers

 * }

Q218989

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95, used with:
 * Microsoft H/PC Explorer, version 1.0
 * Microsoft Windows CE Services versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2

-

SYMPTOMS
Windows 95 clients that are configured to use statically defined Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) servers and have the Handheld PC (H/PC) Explorer software installed, register in WINS as multihomed computers with a second Internet Protocol (IP) address of 192.168.55.101.

CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Windows 95 client registers both the network adapter and the dial-up adapter in WINS when you use statically defined WINS servers.

Windows CE Services uses TCP/IP and Dial-Up Networking to allow the handheld computer to synchronize with a desktop computer. A dial-up adapter is added and is assigned an IP address of 192.168.55.101. Prior to the Winsock 2 upgrade, WINS settings were defined globally for all adapters configured with TCP/IP.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, install the Winsock 2 update on the computer running Windows 95 and disable WINS resolution on the dial-up adapter. You can obtain the Winsock 2 update at the following Microsoft Web site:

"http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/w95sockets2/default.asp" For more information about this update, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

"Q182108 Availability of Windows Sockets 2.0 for Windows 95" To disable WINS resolution on the dial-up adapter:


 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network.
 * 2) In the list of network components, click TCP/IP -> Dial-up Adapter, and then click Properties.
 * 3) Click the WINS Configuration tab.
 * 4) Click Disable WINS Resolution.
 * 5) Click OK.
