WINS could not create the notification socket

tmt7734 · Jul 23, 2004

WINS service will not start on W2K Server machine.

I'm getting this error message with event ID 4193:
WINS could not create the notification socket. Make sure the TCP/IP driver is installed and running properly.

I'm getting this error message with event ID 7023:
The Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) service terminated with the following error:
%%3758096386

Any ideas?

From Microsoft regarding this error:-

Check the services file in system32\drivers\etc

Make sure the follow records exist
==========================================
42/tcp name #Host Name Server

42/udp name #Host Name Server

Yes, those are there.

Still trying to figure this out. Anything else? Thought about unintalling and reintalling TCP/IP but it's a DC so it won't let me

Before reinstalling tcp/ip etc, have you checked to see it isn't a corrupt WINS database? Try re-creating it and see how it goes -

Tried that, no good.

Ended up uninstalling, reinstalling TCP/IP by going through directory services repair mode.

Thanks for the help.
