Re: NetBT Event ID 4311

This is Error message:

Symbolic Name: EVENT_NBT_CREATE_DEVICE
Message: Initialization failed because the driver device could not be
created.

Explanation
This is a transient condition that can be safely ignored.

NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) temporarily could not start but it continues
trying to start until it succeeds.

My Start Up type for the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service is set to automatic

Finished work for the day so I have now done some more research.

You have not posted a complete copy of the Error Report and I have seen
several variations of the basic report. Can you post a complete report.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event Viewer.Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message.
Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.

Certain versions of the Error Report say "No User Action required". This
is because the system keeps trying until it suceeds. Does it eventually
suceed in your case?

I then tried to find out what contribution NetBIOS makes to the way a
computer works. What I discovered was that there are suspicions that the
service may be a left over from a past redundant arrangement. The
default Start Up type for the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service is automatic
but there is a recommendation to set it to Manual.

My own computer is running without error with the service set to
Automatic. You could see if setting it to Manual has any adverse affect
and whether the errors cease.

"problems that may occur when administrative shares are missing"-
this can not be applied to my case.
Following tutorials from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842715, all
results were O.K. after worked out what is suggested in a/m Article,
meaning administrative shares not missing.


Morog

That clears up that point.

Have you worked through KB Article 842715? The Article number has not
been mentioned and I do not have the time now to see whether any of
the suggestions by Nass originate from the Article.

Hi Gerry,
I 've noticed your post and confirm what you stated, the version I
have is
5.1.2600.2180 , from the SP-2 update.
I repeat I have all updates through AU.
I suspect something is wrong in my Registry regardin NetBT.
Regards,

Morog

I posted this earlier and I suspect you may haved missed the post.

Morog

No. The version you have here C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers should be
from the SP2 update.
