2464.5A very strange fix for this problemNETRIX::"[email protected]"Adrian MooreThu Feb 20 1997 17:3020
Hi all,

I think I've hit on a fix for this but I don't understand it. If you add a
dummy
network card driver into the Windows 95 Network setup then WINS mysteriously
works (with WINS enabled). WINIPCFG shows a primary WINS server, and browsing
via network neighbourhood works fine.

I suspect that adding a network card driver also adds other components which
allow WINS to work properly. I suspect these don't get added with just the
Dial-up-adapter installation, but I guess I'll have to tear apart the INFs to
find out.

Comments are most welcome.

Thanks & regards,
Adrian Moore
