STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Microsoft Office 2000 Service Pack 2.MORE INFORMATION
This issue primarily affects a server that hosts multiple sites by using multiple IP addresses. IP addresses that are not bound to the default Web site cannot be opened by the NetBIOS name of the computer or by the DNS name of the computer. There are no WINS or DNS mappings for the extra Web sites; therefore, using the IP address is the only available option.
