SYMPTOMS
========
When you perform a NetBIOS name query on a computer, the query may be slow or
may not work. This may cause you program or session to time out on the client
computer.
CAUSE
=====
This issue can occur if the following conditions exist:
- You are trying to resolve a NetBIOS name.
- The name exists in a different domain that the domain in which the querying
computer is located.
- Multiple domain-suffix search-order entries are specified in TCP/IP
properties.
For example, assume that you are trying to ping a computer named Remote in the
<Name1>.com domain and that your computer is located in the
<Name2>.com domain. Windows attempts to resolve the NetBIOS name in the
<Name2>.com domain only. Windows may then later be able to resolve the
name when it queries the <Name1>.com domain by using the fully qualified
domain name (FQDN); this may occur up to a few minutes after you start the
query.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, download and install the Winsock 2 update for Windows 95.
