SYMPTOMS
========

After you install Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or
Service Pack 3 (SP3) you may notice that you cannot connect to a multihomed
computer on a different subnet.

CAUSE
=====

NetBT in SP2 and SP3 does not correctly store the list of IP addresses that the
WINS server returns for the multihomed computer.


RESOLUTION
==========

Obtain the following fix or wait for the next Windows NT service pack.

This fix should have the following timestamp:

  06/04/97  02:35 PM               117,648 Netbt.sys (Intel)
  06/04/97  01:34 PM               215,792 Netbt.sys (Alpha)

NOTE: Service Pack 3 must be applied to Windows NT 4.0 prior to applying this
fix.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0.

A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and
should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you
are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you
wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft
Technical Support for more information.
