SYMPTOMS
========
When you use InocuLAN on a Microsoft Windows NT network, you may experience
large amounts of WINS name queries and broadcast storms. If you use Microsoft
Network Monitor, you may view a large number of WINS queries for workgroup or
domain names, and then broadcasts after the WINS queries are unsuccessful.
CAUSE
=====
By default, InocuLAN is configured to automatically discover Windows NT domains.
The default values for Auto Discovery and Heartbeat Update Interval are 24 hours
and 1 minute, respectively.
If a domain is manually entered and/or automatically discovered in Service
Manager, and then later becomes unavailable or invalid, you can receive three NS
Queries every 60 seconds for each invalid domain.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, remove the invalid workgroup or domain names from
InocuLAN's Service Manager. To do this, perform the following steps:
1. In Service Manager, click Broadcast Configuration from the Service menu.
2. In the Broadcast Configuration box, click the NT Domains tab.
3. Remove the invalid workgroup or domain names.
STATUS
======
This problem occurs when you use Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 and InocuLAN.
