CORRECTION:
  NO ADJUSTMENTS required to any WINS client.
  ONLY the WINS server system needs the bind-list re-ordered.

  We apologize for the inconvenience.

PRODUCTS AFFECTED:
   Any systems with Windows NT 3.51/4.0, WINS Services and Inteprhase ATM
   adapters (PCI, PMC, EISA bus ATM).

PROBLEM:
  Microsoft WINS Services Servers & Clients get an invalid IP address
  from ATM driver (usually 1.0.10.185 or 1.0.10.xxx).

CAUSE:
  WINS Services seems to bind to adapters in alphabetical order (not
  alpha-numeric order).

  This places 'Interphase ATM 1577 Client/Server'(disabled by default) at the
  top of the list and 'Interphase ATM Client 1'(enabled by default) further
  down the list.

  When the list is sorted in this order, and WINS performs the protocol bind
  operation, it accesses the first ATM entry on the list: the disabled
  'Interphase ATM 1577 Client/Server' which yields an incorrect IP address.

SOLUTION:
  Under development.

* Temporary solution: (Windows NT 4.0 example)
 
  After complete driver installation, including restart of system.

  On the WINS Server system:
 
    Open:  Programs
      Open:  Administrative Tools
        Select:  WINS Manager
          Make a note of the correct WINS Server IP Address if available.
          In the WINS Servers window:
          Highlight:  1.0.10.84  (or 1.0.10.xxx)
          Pull-Down:  Servers
          Select:  Delete WINS Server 
        Exit:  WINS Manager
 
    Open:  Programs
      Open:  Setting   
        Open:  Control Panel
          Open:  Network
            Select:  Bindings
            Select:  all protocols
            Select:  WINS Client(TCP/IP)       
              Click-and-Drag:  Interphase ATM LANE Client 1
                to top of list, right after the WINS Client(TCP/IP) 
              Click:  OK
            In the new window, you may get a dialog box requesting IPX
	    internal ID and routing information.
	    Click:  OK
            Restart (Click:  Yes)
