WINS Error 4204

[colin]

I have the following error on our wins servers. I have
looked on KB and all I can find is check TCP/IP is
installed. Which it is.

Any help would be grate.

Colin.

Hi,

It looks like the data in the error code points to a 10054 winsock error -
WSAECONNRESET. This could occur if an ICMP packet was for "Destination
Host Unreachable". This could be from a router, or if the server is not
listening on the port.

I would make sure the routers are not blocking the WINS traffic. A network
capture would probably tell you where these are coming from.


Thank you,
