Hi Chuck,
Thanks for the suggestions, I believe the problem is related to NetBIOS over
TCP/IP. If I do an ipconfig /all, it states that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is
disabled. Even if I manually apply it through TCP/IP properties for the NIC
(as opposed to the default setting through the DHCP server), it remains
disabled. If I try to repair the connection or do an nbtstat -r, I receive
an error regarding "Clearing NetBT" or "Failed to access NetBT driver --
NetBT may not be loaded", respectively. I have tried updating the driver for
the NIC, removing the NIC through Device Manager and allowing XP to reload
it. Furthermore, I receive Event ID System Error 4311, Source NetBT
"Initialization failed because the driver device could not be created." I
looked up the related KB833747, which I believe is totally unrelated to the
actual problem. I am guessing NetBIOS (or TCP/IP) needs to be reloaded.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
