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:
