Server adapter adopts IP address from RAS client and will not rele

We have a single Windows 2000 server in a workgroup configuration, not an
active directory. WINS is running. I have IP and NetBeui protocols running.

The problem I am having is that RAS is running (the RAS is handing out 5 ip
addresses to the laptops.) and when a remote laptop logs-on everything is
fine until another remote laptop logs-on, ( I have VNC running on the server
,so putting the pointer over the tray icon displays the ip address of the
server.) then the adapter adopts the ip address of the first laptop. ( so now
the adapter has 2 ip address attached to it ; ie. 192.168.0.3 & 192.168.2.6 ‘
from the remote laptop’) When I run ‘nbtstat –n I get duplicate name
conflict of the server, and no one can find the server on the LAN or Remote
logon. I have to Stop the RAS server and re-start it , and clear the NetBIOS
name cache (nbtstat –RR) the everything runs fine until the sequences
described above repeats.

Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
AMD

See KB 292822 item 1g on how to disable Netbios over TCP/IP on the
"internal" RRAS interface. Also see item 2 on clearing old records from
WINS.

I presume you meant Netbios over TCP/IP, not Netbeui . If you really
have Netbeui running, get rid of it. It is redundant if you are using WINS,
and just wasting network bandwidth duplicating what Netbt is doing.
