SBS 2003 WINS error

I keep getting the following error (a lot) in my event log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Wins
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4204
Date: 10/16/2004
Time: 9:35:19 PM
User: N/A
Computer: PCCC-SBS
Description:
WINS could not read from the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) socket.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Data:
0000: 23 15 00 00 46 27 00 00 #...F'..

I am not sure why. When I pipe the info to Microsoft, I am told to make
sure that TCP/IP is installed. Which of course it is. It is the only
protocol installed. I am at a loss as to what the problem is or what I
should do to fix it.

Please check the values of the following registry entries and repond in
this post:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wins\Parameters\UseSelfFndPnrs
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wins\Parameters\McastIntvl

Thanks.

I checked
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wins\Parameters

and did not find either entries. As a matter of fact there are no entries
in that folder.

OK. Let's do this then. Under
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wins\Parameters do the following:

1. Create a new DWORD value called "UseFelfFndPnrs" and set the data to 0x0.
2. Create a new DOWRD value called "McastIntvl" and set the data to
0xFFFFFFFF.

Then restart the WINS service and see what happens. Please let us know by
posting back to the group.

Thanks!

Hey JW.

Can you run a netdiag /v and a dcdiag /v and post or e-mail the output?

Thanks.

Where do I get those utilities? I looked on my system and was unable to
locate them.

Does the Netdiag tool you gave me the link for work on a SBS2003 server? I
ran it on the machine and it just gave me a DLL error. I noticed it was from
the Windows 2000 resource kit, yet I already had the 2003 resource kit
installed on the server and it was not in that.

Sorry, as this is the SBS 2000 Newsgroup I skipped the fact that you
were posting about SBS 2003.

Load the Support Tools from the SBS 2003 CD2.
( or win XPpro CD )
