This error message has been logged inthe event viewer on our server several times this week. What does it mean and how can I resolve the problem? We are running Windows NT, Service pack 4.

Event ID: 4306
Source: WINS
Type: Error

Description: The length of the message sent by another WINS indicates a very big
message. There may have been a corruption of the data on the wire. WINS will
ignore this message, terminate the connection with the remote WINS and continue
on.

Try compacting the WINS database. If this doesn't help then stop the WINS service, delete the wins.mdb database, and then restart the wins service and allow the database to rebuild itself.

I'm not convinced that this will resolve the problem, but will give it a try.
