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.
