Can't Delete Owner 0.0.0.0 from WINS

[Jim]

My W2K WINS returns 1C (domain controller) records with IP
addresses that do not exist in my network and that are not
visible in the WINS admin tool GUI. As a result, clients
attempt to logon to invalid addresses, 25 of them.

The invalid addresses are a combination of decommissioned
domain controllers, WINS servers, and clients. However,
some of the invalid addresses were never assigned.

Using the NETSH command it is possible to display the
WINS records and using owner address is 0.0.0.0.

I entered this series of commands to view the owner
0.0.0.0 and it's 1C member records:

c:\netsh
netsh>wins
netsh wins>server x.x.x.x (my WINS server)
netsh wins server>show name Name=MYDOMAIN EndChar=1C

I get a list of 1C member entries with an Owner of 0.0.0.0
as well as valid 1C entries for my domain.

Also, I can see the owner 0.0.0.0 in the WINS GUI admin
tool by clicking on Active Registrations, Action, then
Delete Owner. The 0.0.0.0 owner appears in the list with
no name and a 0 value in the Highest ID column. When I
delete it it returns, even when I do it on each WINS
server after disabling replication.

Has anyone seen this problem? How can I delete the
0.0.0.0 owner and all it's owned records?

I have also tried the Delete Owner command in NETSH
UTILITY but although it says the owner is deleted, the
records owned by 0.0.0.0 do not go away and the 0.0.0.0
still appears as owner that I can delete in the GUI.

Any help you can provide would be helpful.

Jim

You could try a network trace on the WINS
server and capture the incoming packets to
and maybe find the offending machine.
