SYMPTOMS
After you attempt to disable the WINS bindings for a network interface card (NIC) in the Control Panel Network dialog box, Event Viewer reports two errors:

Event ID 4307: Initialization failed because the transport refused to open initial Addresses.

Event ID 4311: Initialization failed because the driver device could not be created.



CAUSE
These errors occur when you disable all WINS related bindings and Show Binding For is set to < All Components >. They may also occur due to an incorrect order of the bindings.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:


 * 1) In the Show Bindings For list box, choose WINS Client(TCP/IP).
 * 2) Select the WINS binding shown and choose Enable.
 * 3) Verify that the WINS bindings are above any RAS bindings in the list (lower all RAS bindings to the bottom of the list).
 * 4) Choose OK and then choose OK again.

If enabling the bindings does not correct the problem, remove the TCP/IP protocol completely, and then reinstall it.
