Q156204: Unusual Addresses Like 1.10.0.184 Showing in WINS Database

Article: Q156204
Product(s): Microsoft Windows NT
Version(s): 3.51,4.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 05-JUN-2002

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51, 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you use WINS Manager, you notice a WINS server with an address of
1.10.0.184, 1.35.0.184, 0.62.0.184, or 0.227.0.184, or you notice an owner with
these addresses when you click Show Database on the Mappings menu.

You will also notice when you view the mappings for the selected owner (real IP
address of the WINS server itself), that you do not see any name registrations
for that server. An NBTSTAT -N command will show the correct WINS server
registrations.


CAUSE
=====

The Remote Access Service (RAS) WAN Wrapper is bound before the network
interface card (NIC).


RESOLUTION
==========

  move it below your network adapter driver.

  NOTE: There may be multiple RAS WAN Wrapper entries.

Perform the following steps to work around this problem:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and

  below your network adapter driver.

  NOTE: There may be multiple RAS WAN Wrapper entries.

5. In the Show Bindings For list, click All services.

6. For each service, select the WINS Client (TCP/IP) and verify that the network
  adapter is now listed first. Move the Remote Access Service WAN Wrappers down
  if needed.

  NOTE: There may be multiple RAS WAN Wrapper entries.
