WINS Manager: Static Mapping Expiration Dates are 1/18/38 (120756)

SUMMARY

In the Show Database dialog box in Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) Manager, the statically mapped entries (which have a check mark in the S column) may have an expiration date looking like 1/18/38. The Year column (38) is correct, implying the year 2038 (not 1938). Static mapped entries are set to expire on the maximum date of the PC's clock and calendar chip. To verify this, select a format with a four-digit year by following these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Regional Settings.
3. Click the Date tab.
4. In the Short Date Style box, click a format with a four-digit year (such as MM/dd/yyyy).
5. Click Apply. The year is displayed as 2038.
