WINS Error - 4260 and 4261 Idris 06-21-2007

 Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help with this at all. Cross posted to a few places
as sure most people have had experience of WINS here.

I've got 2 WINS servers (very old). On one I keep getting system event
errors all day long which are event id 4260 and 4261. I've googled and
googled but can't find anything that fixes it.

Below are the errors. If anyone could help/offer suggestions i'd greatly
appreciate.

Thanks.

ERROR 4260
WINS got an error while registering replicas. It will not register any more
replicas of this WINS (address is in data section 4th-8th byte; also check
previous log entry) at this time. Please check a previous log entry to
determine the reason for this. If this error persists over time i.e. you
get the same error during subsequent replication with the above partner
WINS, you may want to restore the database from the backup.

ERROR 4261
WINS got an exception while trying to register a group's replica with name
NTDOMAIN* . The replica is owned by WINS with address given below.

*NT domain is substituted for our NT domain name.

 Just to add to this.
I've tried to follow this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/176202 and it
finds no records.

What i do notice though is that the errors are on my BDC only and no errors
on the PDC (They are my WINS servers).
It is odd because 4261 shows the PDC as the owing server but some of the
errors show it was 192.0.0.5 which is not something that exists anywhere in
our network!?

I'm stumped and need to stop the errors.

Thanks.

Interesting. If you have a clean WINS replica on the PDC, you could
conceivably redo WINS on the BDC. Remove it. Reinstall. Re-replicate
the data from the PDC.

Yeh i tried earlier with that first link (although i don't get 4262 error)
and it would not find the record which was odd.
I'll have another look but im fairly sure they are service packed up. I
think i will try and apply again though.

Thanks
