The 4294 event may be caused if the WINS service is NOT set to use the
system account. Under Administrative Tools go to Services and then look at
the properties of the WINS service to verify.

Every time I've seen the 4204 event it was because of some network appliance
responding with an ICMP port unreachable every time WINS sent an IGMP
multicast. If you want you can always just stop WINS from sending the IGMP
multicast and that should stop the 4204's. See the following knowledge base
article for instructions on doing that:
