Question : WINS server event ID 4202 - Still sees old WINS server

I am running WINS on an NT4 server.

A consultant came in last year and unknowingly added his remote server as a WINS server on my network.  The consultant is now gone and I constantly get Event ID 4202 stating

"An attempt to connect to the remote WINS server with address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx returned with an error.  Check to see that the remote WINS server is running and available, and that WINS is running on that server."

I went into WINS manager and did a Show Database and did a Delete Owner on the extra server, which quelled the messages.  However, the next time I started WINS, it was back again, along with the messages.

Any idea what it takes to get rid of this server?

Did you remove the WINS server from the replication partner list?
