The NetBIOS protocol was the principal network protocol that early versions of Windows used. In conjunction with Windows Internet Name Service (WINS), NetBIOS supports a simple, nonhierarchical naming system. You can configure DNS servers and clients to support NetBIOS and WINS as a supplement to the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol.
This problem may be due to an incorrect configuration of Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) reverse (WINSR) lookup on the DNS server. The actions that you take depend on whether WINSR lookup must be supported by the DNS server. If the DNS server must support WINSR reverse lookup, restart the server, and then verify that the NetBIOS over TCP/IP configuration for TCP/IP client properties on the computer is set correctly.
To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
If WINSR lookup is not required, remove WINSR records from the zone, and then reload the modified zones or restart the DNS Server service.
To remove WINSR records from a zone:
If reloading the zone was not successful, restart the DNS Server service.
To restart the DNS Server service:
