When my broadband hub hangs and requires a reset, I find that peer-to-peer
netbios connectivity dies and has a very hard time being reactivated. It
appears that netbios just loses touch.
(Client: XP SP2; Host: Server 2k3 SP1)
Here are the commands I run:
1) First, the command I expect to work:
> net view \\bobox
There are no entries in the list.
2) Okay, that's weird, I know there are shares. Let's check using the IP:
> net view \\192.168.2.2
Shared resources at \\192.168.2.2
Share name Type Used as Comment
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bin Disk
c-drive Disk
d-drive Disk
LexmarkX Print Lexmark X125
Share Disk
The command completed successfully.
3) Really! Those are the shares I was looking for... Maybe the bobox net
bios name is using the wrong IP address?
> nbtstat -c
Local Area Connection 2:
Node IpAddress: [0.0.0.0] Scope Id: []
No names in cache
Wireless Network Connection:
Node IpAddress: [192.168.2.254] Scope Id: []
NetBIOS Remote Cache Name Table
Name Type Host Address Life [sec]
------------------------------------------------------------
BOBOX <03> UNIQUE 192.168.2.2 -1
BOBOX <00> UNIQUE 192.168.2.2 -1
BOBOX <20> UNIQUE 192.168.2.2 -1
Ok, now how is this possible???? Both ping and nbtstat show that name
resolution is working! nbtstat -R and -RR have no effect either.
Any ideas appreciated...
