256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
SUMMARY
When the SNABase service is started on an SNA Server, it registers the IP addresses that are already assigned to the network adapters of that particular computer against its service table.
If an IP address is not yet assigned to a network adapter at SNABase startup, it won't be added to the service table.
A new feature was added to SNA Server that allows you to add static IP addresses for SNA Server's service table entry for the local computer. By specifying the addresses, you can ensure that late bound IP addresses get passed to all clients and servers during service table updates.
