RRAS causinig multiple (and wrong) internal IP addresses

[Jordan]

I setup a RRAS server called MYRRAS. Its internal NIC's IP address is
192.168.1.1 and external 999.999.999.999. When a client connects, the RRAS
server naturally pulls an IP from the DCHP server and the client connection
is 192.168.1.50. The problem is when I now ping MYRRAS from the internal
network the IP address comes back as its dynamic IP 192.168.1.50 instead of
192.168.1.1

I just upgraded the PDC from NT4 to 2000 and had to and DNS. Prior to this
I used WINS on NT4 for names resolution for remote clients. Also, I have
not played around with any of the default settings in the new W2K PDC DNS
server.

See KB 292822 for ways to prevent the "virtual" IP registering in WINS
and/or DNS.

How will this affect my Win 9x clients?

FYI - I have a WINS server setup and configured in DHCP.

I have a WINS server setup on the network s

It will affect all your clients. As soon as a remote client connects,
your server becomes multihomed (ie it has two interfaces and two IP
addresses). This can cause all sorts of problems, especially with browsing.

To prevent this, you need to disable Netbios over TCP/IP on the
"virtual" interface, so that clients only try to contact the server by its
LAN IP. The KB article describes how to do this. It also talks about a
similar problem which can arise if you use dynamic updates in DNS.
