SYMPTOMS
When you use NSLOOKUP to perform reverse lookup using a Windows NT 4.0 Domain Name Service (DNS) server that has a network adapter with multiple IP addresses (and has a zone that has "Use WINS Resolution" enabled) you receive the following error:
CAUSE
By design NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) supports only one IP address per network interface card (NIC) adapter. It is possible to configure TCP/IP to have multiple IP addresses on a single NIC, but NetBT will only support the first address configured.
