The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95, used with:
- Microsoft H/PC Explorer, version 1.0
- Microsoft Windows CE Services versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Windows 95 clients that are configured to use statically defined Windows
Internet Name Service (WINS) servers and have the Handheld PC (H/PC) Explorer
software installed, register in WINS as multihomed computers with a second
Internet Protocol (IP) address of 192.168.55.101.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior occurs because the Windows 95 client registers both the network
adapter and the dial-up adapter in WINS when you use statically defined WINS
servers.
Windows CE Services uses TCP/IP and Dial-Up Networking to allow the handheld
computer to synchronize with a desktop computer. A dial-up adapter is added and
is assigned an IP address of 192.168.55.101. Prior to the Winsock 2 upgrade,
WINS settings were defined globally for all adapters configured with TCP/IP.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, install the Winsock 2 update on the computer running
Windows 95 and disable WINS resolution on the dial-up adapter. You can obtain
the Winsock 2 update at the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/w95sockets2/default.asp
For more information about this update, see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

To disable WINS resolution on the dial-up adapter:
1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click
Network.
2. In the list of network components, click "TCP/IP -> Dial-up Adapter", and
then click Properties.
3. Click the WINS Configuration tab.
4. Click Disable WINS Resolution.
5. Click OK.
