How can I control how many IP addresses the OS sends in response to a WINS request on a multihomed machine?

A. If a machine has multiple network adapter cards, the OS can send one IP address for each adapter when it receives a WINS request. You can configure this behavior by performing the following steps:
Start the registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesNetBTParameters.
From the Edit menu, select New - DWORD value.
Enter a name of SingleResponse, and press Enter.
Double-click the new value, enter 1 to enable or 0 to disable, and click OK.
Close the registry editor.
Reboot the machine.
