We have 2 Windows2000 Advanced servers in two seperate domains seperated by a firewall. The servers are the AD controllers for their respective domains. The firewall is allowing full access for all services between the 2 servers. We have configured replication partners on both servers (Push/Pull) for WINS replication for to each other. When we attempt to replicate we get the following error in the System Event Log.

Error: "The connection was aborted by the remote WINS. Remote WINS may not be configured to replicate with the server."

The firewall shows no dropped traffic between the 2 servers. "PLEASE HELP"

Thanks in advance,

allen

I did some searching and found Q171168 on MS site. Just another idea: Have you installed SP2? Just a thought. Good luck.

Are the WINS servers on separate subnets??? If so you need to set up a WINS Proxy server. Also double check and make sure that both tcp and udp can route through port 42 on your firewall. Last but not least verify that the proper media type and duplex mode are selected for both machines.

Good Luck.

Yes, Both TCP/UDP can route through port 42. Same Media and mode. Still did not work.
Thanks.

I've seen similar here - deleting both ends of the replication connection, then recreating it seemed to resolve it, although we still get the occasional "connection aborted" message.

Be sure that both machines can resolve each other's address by name, and that the WINS services are running under the same account on both boxes (should be running as system).

(WINS proxies have nothing to do with this problem though, not quite sure how they could help with replication.)
