WINS showing invalid IP

[nelly18]

Our primary WINS server has been flaking lately. I think it is because the server has bound itself to a temporary IP used during the initial install (the box has 3 NIC's so we gave 2 of them bogus IP's).

Every time I open WINS manager on that machine, the bogus IP shows up with the other legit WINS servers. I delete the server IP everywhere I can, but it keeps reappearing upon a refresh. I have deleted any entry in the registry with that IP address, but it will not go away. Unfortunately I think it is causing headaches with the network in general, but I can't find anything on how it got there or how to get rid of it.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks

It doesn't seem to remove the reference to the server, but will remove any entires from its list. MCSE NT4/W2K
