Event ID 4102 - The connection was aborted by the remote WINS. Remote WINS may not be configured to replicate with the server.

Cause: A WINS event ID 4102 event message typically means that there is a communication failure during a WINS connection

Resolutions:

1. Make sure the all WINS servers are configured correctly such as from either Pull only or Push only, to Push/Pull.  If you configure WINS A to perform pull replications with WINS B, make sure it is a push partner of WINS B.

2. If the other WINS server is located across a router, check for network connectivity to the remote WINS server.

3. If the WINS is running on a multihomed server or RRAS server , you may want to setup WINS to replicate with any partner.

4. You may want to run a Network Monitor trace, and then identify the remote WINS server (Pull partner) that sends the "WINS: Stop Reason = Message Error" error message.
