Hi Vic,

Yes, you are right. The Event: 4321 Source: netBT is a little-known netBT
message that results whenever the workstation is attempting to register its
netBIOS name either by broadcast or directly with WINS and it receives a
"name in use" response.

You can search the netbios name in the WINS server. There should be another
workstation or workgroup record in WINS with the same name as this
workstation was trying to register. The WINS server was refusing the
registration, so its IP address showed up in the netBT 4321 error as the
server preventing the registration.

To make the event go away delete the duplicate WINS record and choose a
different name for either the workgroup or the workstation.

      Thanks for that Bob,
      
      However, I'm still a little confused. I assume you mean WINS on the
machine
      137.223.3.99 which is the one that "did not allow the name to be
claimed by
      this machine" - see below. However, I can not find any reference to
the
      137.223.3.133 machine in WINS on that server.
      
      Can you explain what I may be doing wrong or mis-understanding?
      
      Kind regards,
      
      Vic
