Multiple DNS Server Addresses Not Assigned Properly with DHCP (157930)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q157930 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to use multiple Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) servers to dynamically assign Domain Name Service (DNS) server
addresses to multiple network adapters installed in your computer, the
DNS server addresses may not be assigned properly.
CAUSE
You cannot manually assign different DNS server addresses to multiple
network adapters in Windows 95. To assign different DNS server addresses
to multiple network adapters, you must use DHCP servers. If each network
adapter is connected to a network that contains a DHCP server, the DHCP
servers can be used to dynamically assign DNS server addresses to each
network adapter. However, the Wsock32.dll file included with Windows 95
does not properly implement this feature.
RESOLUTIONSTATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows.
