Internet Tab Does Not Appear When NetBIOS Name Is 15 Characters (201185)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 3.0
This article was previously published under Q201185 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SYMPTOMS
If the NetBIOS name of the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 3.0 computer has 15 characters, the Internet tab does not appear in a directory's property sheet. IIS may fail to return Web pages and occasionally the WWW Service does not start.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the NetBIOS name of the Windows NT Server computer running IIS 3.0 contains more than 14 characters.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, reduce the number of characters in the NetBIOS name of the IIS 3.0 computer to 14 charters or less.
