I'm not into IT, but unless netbios is slipped into the system some place that I can't see, its not in my properties of my connection and yet I can read a list and browse the network as everyone is suggesting Andrew to do.
I have client for MS networks
File and print sharing for MS netowrks
QoS Packet
TCP/IP
WLAN / AEGIS 802.1x / Intel wirelss (3 items needed for wireless obviously).

So with your above statement, and my configuration how do I get a List to browse?

NetBIOS Over TCP/IP.

The TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service also needs to be started.
