SYMPTOMS
When a server initializes, it registers a unique NetBIOS name. When a
client attempts to connect to the server it obtains the server's NetBIOS
Name and the IP address by broadcasting a NAME QUERY frame and receiving a
Name Query Response Frame.
CAUSEThe name cache table on the LAN Manager client machines is not updated. Attempts to establish a new session may fail because TCP uses the old (incorrect) IP address that exists in the cache. WORKAROUNDIn the VxD version of the TCP/IP stack for Windows for Workgroups 3.11, the name cache can be controlled through the CacheTimeout entry. Setting this value very low resolves this problem under WFWG 3.11. Modify the following entry in SYSTEM.INI:
The only workaround on a LAN Manager client is to reboot the client. It
should also be noted this problem occurs only with TCP/IP transport.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in LAN Manager version 2.2b. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. Additional query words: wfw wfwg 2.20b tcp
