SYMPTOMS
========
When you type a static mapping in the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS)
database, you may only see one entry appear. That entry has no sixteenth
character hexadecimal identifier.
For example, you might type a unique static mapping for a computer with the
NetBIOS name of RHINO having an IP address of 192.0.0.1. You expect to see the
following entries:
RHINO(00h) 192.0.0.1
RHINO(03h) 192.0.0.1
RHINO(20h) 192.0.0.1
However, you may see the following instead:
RHINO 192.0.0.1
CAUSE
=====
WINS Manager is not configured to display the database using LAN Manager-
compatible conventions.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, enable the LAN Manager-compatible feature by performing
the following steps:
1. In WINS Manager, click Options, and then click Preferences.
2. Click LAN Manager-Compatible to enable the option.
3. Click OK.
