This problem occurs when the Intel 8/16 Lan Adapter network card is installed. The following example shows what you would see when you double click on each computer name and then click on the netcard icon from the Personal Computer Properties Window:   Client                      NetCard Description =====                      ===================   WFW 3.11/MSDOS 6.21         Intel EtherExpress 16 or 16TP Win 3.1/LM 2.2/MSDOS 6.2   EXP16$ WFW/MSDOS 5.0              MS$EE16 Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2.
