SYMPTOMS
========
When attempting to view a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) database that is
not participating in a Push\Pull relationship, the following error message
appears:
The Windows Internet Name Service is not running on the target machine, or
the target machine is not accessible.
CAUSE
=====
This error occurs when you set the view preference for the WINS server by name
only or by name and IP address.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, choose Options, choose Preferences, and change the
address display from Computer Name Only to IP Address Only. This will set the
view to IP Address until a method of name resolution is in place to resolve the
other WINS servers name.
