| Description | An address could not bind to a socket. Make sure the TCP/IP stack is installed and running properly. This event might mean that the nameserver port (specified in the services file) which is used as the default by WINS for replication and discovering other WINSs has been taken by another process or service running on this computer. You have two options - either bring down that other process or service or direct WINS to use another port. If you choose the second option, set the value PortNo (REG_DWORD) under the Wins\Parameters subkey in the registry to 1512. NOTE: Changing the port number this way will prevent this WINS from replicating or discovering other WINSs unless they too are directed to use the same port number as this WINS. |
