Hi Derek,

What exactly does this mean:

I can ping internal_server with the WINS address, nothing happens.

"can ping" and "nothing happens" seem to be opposite. By "WINS address" I take it you mean the NetBIOS name and not the IP address registered in WINS?

I know Windows XP has issues with DNS requests going the wrong way because
of their stupid DNS cache and that it can be resolved with R55 and a userc.c
mod, but I haven't read anything about WINS having the issue.

What OS are the computers on?

Even though we're on an NT 4 domain, I always put in a servername.domain.com
entry into DNS because 2000 & XP use DNS before they use WINS.

I'm not utilizing dnsinfo.c for WINS.  I'm also not utilizing Office
Mode.(SecuRemote only).  I will check the SK and see what it entails.  I
thought dnsinfo.c was only utilized during SDL.  Can you define the WINS
servers dynamically for SR similar to how SecuRemote DNS works?

Thanks,

Article sk25494 for SecureClient & Office Mode talks about this type of
behavior due to a hard-coded WINS. In your case, it's probably a similar
situation in that the hard-coded WINS is taking precedence over what you
have defined in dnsinfo.c for WINS.
