WINS error: " The network path not found"

I am running Windows Server 2003 and I have an issue with WINS. I have
uninstalled it and re-installed it to no avail. Although the Server
Status is "Responding" I am missing much functionality on the WINS
management console. And when I click on the WINS Server name a red
icon appears with a white cross - indicating that all is not well. Any
help from MS tells me to select options I can't get.... any ideas most
welcome.

Thanks,
James

CAUSE
This issue occurs because the WINS manager is dependant on the Remote
Registry Service. If this service is not running, the WINS component is
not initialized. However, the WINS service starts and looks as if it is
running, but the WINS snap-in generates the error described in the
preceding section.
