SYMPTOMS
A Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server may not start if the server contains 14 or more network adapters. These adapters may be any combination of real adapters, virtual adapters, or loopback adapters. When this problem occurs, the following WINS errors are recorded in the event log: Event Type: Error
