When you attempt to start Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) on a
computer that has one network interface card (NIC), the following event
appears in the Event Viewer system log:
Event ID: 4280
Source: WINS
Type: Error
Description: The machine you are running the WINS server on does
not have a valid address. When WINS requested the system for the
address, it got 0.0.0.0 as the address.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the WINS client binds last, and TCP/IP is below
Remote Access Service (RAS). WINS binds to the first NIC on a computer that
has multiple NICs bound to TCP/IP.
WORKAROUND
To resolve this problem, install the fix mentioned below.
To work around this problem:
- Run Control Panel and choose Network.
- Choose Bindings.
- In the Show Bindings For list box, choose WINS Client(TCP/IP).
- Ensure TCP/IP binds before RAS (Remote Access WAN Wrapper).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5
and 3.51. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Windows NT Workstation or Server version 3.51. For information on obtaining
