So it there an actual issue you are experiencing in all of this or is it just something you are trying to understand.
I recall this flipping back and forth all the way back to NT4 SP2/3. In fact I had servers with 4 and 5 NICs in them and any time I did an ipconfig each of the NICs would be showing something different. It was all working so I really didn't care about anything else. If you are really curious if there are errors or something going on, spin up ethereal and start watching the network traces. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Taco Sent: Friday, June 17, 2005 9:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Unexpected WINS registering behavior Another strange thing is the client registers with the WINS server just fine. I can see it in the db's of each WINS server. The problem is the record continually gets a new owner as the WINS server order flip flops. This behavior seems pretty sub-optimal to me... -kevin On Fri, 17 Jun 2005 10:06:45 +0100, "Ruston, Neil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > FYI: I tried the below and *did* see the same (odd) behaviour - WINS > entries 'flipped'. > > I'm not sure if perhaps the WINS client flips to another WINS server > if the server does not respond within n msec?? > > neil > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Taco > Sent: 16 June 2005 21:04 > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Unexpected WINS registering behavior > > > More info: > > I setup a test lab: > > 1 Windows 2003 Sp1.
