I am running a full native windows 2000 Network and we have 2 domain
controllers at each at our 3 sites. Each site has its own subnet and we are
running as 1 domain. Each domaincontroller at each site is configured as a
WINS server and all wins servers are configured as replication partners.

On one of our domain controllers I keep getting the following error event:

The Connection was aborted by the remote WINS. Remote WINS may not be
configured to replicate with the server.

We keep getting this error message every so often.

Does anyone know the reason why we get this message.
 
Normally this error happens if 1. the remote server is not listedconfigured as a replication
partner or 2. when there is a temporary hiccup (hardware like a router) on the network between
remote locations where the traffic does not get through.
