WINS could not create the notification socket

Posting this info, becuase it has taken me days to solve this problem
on a Windows 2000 Server

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Wins
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4193
Date: 08/12/2004
Time: 16:02:37
User: N/A
Computer: FS1
Description:
WINS could not create the notification socket. Make sure the TCP/IP
driver is installed and running properly.
Data:
0000: d9 01 00 00 fc 2a 00 00 Ù...ü*..

1. Open properties of Network Conections
2. Re-install tcp/ip protocol from %systemroot%\inf\netnbf.inf

Wins now works again.

A bit more information.

"During the WINS Server service initialization, the service checks for
the port number that the Name service will bind to. The service does
this by calling the GetServByName API. This API must locate the Services
file under System32\Drivers directory. If the Services file is missing,
the GetServByName API will fail. The result is that the WINS Service
will raise an exception indicating that the service could not create the
notification socket. "

BTW when ever you see an error like the one below the
first step is to reinstall the stack.

Make sure the TCP/IP driver is installed and running properly
