SYMPTOMS
When you restart your computer, the WINS Server setting may not be
retained. This setting is located on the WINS Configuration tab in the
properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
CAUSE
Windows 95 requires both the primary and secondary entries for the WINS
Server setting. If you enter only the primary WINS server's IP address,
the setting is not retained.
RESOLUTION
If there is only one WINS server for the network, enter the IP address for
the server in both the primary and secondary WINS Server setting boxes.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
