RAS server resolves wrong internaly

[MickBurke]

We have a server that acts as a RAS server as well as file server.
Every so often we'll try to ping it and it will resolve to one of the
RAS DHCP addresses, rather than its static address. I've see this
before on other servers, but it never became an issue. What do I do
about this?? Thanks.

Does this server also have WINS or DNS?

Access Server that also runs DNS or WINS:

Make sure you disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the RAS interface, as noted in
the KB Article.
