WINS resolves incorrectly after RAS connection

D

dj fisher

We have a Windows 2K server which runs AD, DNS, WINS, and
RRAS. When clients connect via dialup modem, the
server's IP address in WINS changes, causing us to reboot
the server for client resolution to occur. We had the
same issue with DNS, but resolved it with KB article
292822. Now the same occurs with WINS.

Any ideas?

Thank

Keep on reading KB 292822 until you come to the bit about Disabling
Netbios over TCP/IP on the internal interface. Also note the bit about
tidying up leftover entries in WINS.

Try some old medicin (no garantie):

Enter both the Servers IP's in it's LMHOSTS with the #pre
switch and run NBTSTAT -R to reload - this should cause
WINS to register both unless a new "feature" has disabled
this.

Script an occasional run of NBTSTAT -R if you have to

Place the same script in the logon for everyone (LMHOSTS
has to be accessible where the script runs)
