Each WINS server must register its own set of unique names and group NetBIOS names in WINS.
You must configure WINS replication correctly to have an efficient WINS-capable network.
Verify that there is a good connection between WINS servers.
Also make sure that TCP port 42 is not blocked on an intervening network device, such as a router or a firewall.

The equivalent setting on a Windows 2000 WINS server is the When address changes check box in the WINS snap-in. Click to clear the check box to restore the default setting.
