Re: NetBios over TCP/IP

OK, I have done the following:

From your URL, I tried the following:
"Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", is listed in Local Area Connection - Properties
"NetBIOS Over TCP/IP" Enabled, it is enabled in TCP/IP Properties - Advanced
- WINS, but shows up as disabled in ipconfig/all.
"TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" was disabled, but now is - Started and Automatic.
"Internet Connection Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" was
disabled, but now is - Started and Automatic.
"Client for Microsoft Networks", is listed in Local Area Connection -
Properties
"Workstation" service is running - Started and Automatic.
"File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks", is listed in Local Area
Connection - Properties
"Server" was disabled, but now is - Started and Automatic.

Restarted computer

main - no response, net view error 53
192.168.1.100 - ping OK, net view error 53
t30 - ping OK - net view "There are no entries in the list"
192.168.1.101 - ping OK, net view error 53

I have also included the following:
Browstat status, ipconfig/all for both desktop and laptop, and cdiag from
laptop - it ran this time!

See

and see if you have NetBIOS over TCP/IP connectivity.

I tried uninstalling both the LAN and wireless adapters, reinstalled them
(disabling the wirelees which I do not use at home). Again, same result.

I can see other computers on my network, but they can not see me.

Any other ways to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP ?

Thank you for your help

For some reasons, you have enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP on W2K/XP but
using ipconfig /all still shows NetBIOS over TCP/IP disable. The
alternative solution will be installing NetBEUI to all computers.

Hi, Jeffrey. I recommend not installing NetBEUI. It's an unsupported
protocol in Windows XP, which means that Microsoft hasn't tested it,
doesn't guarantee that it will work, and doesn't give technical
support on it. In my experience, installing a second network protocol
in Windows XP is likely to cause even more problems.

To the original poster: Make sure that you're enabling NetBIOS over
TCP/IP on the right connection, and set it to "Enable", not "Default".
If that doesn't solve the problem, try un-installing and re-installing
the network adapter in Device Manager.

If you do install NetBEUI, un-bind file sharing from TCP/IP on all
computers, as I show here:

Windows XP Network Protocols
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/network_protocols.htm

I followed the instuctions on the article, and did not achieve anything
usefull. Ipconfig/all still shows NetBios over TCP/IP - disabled, and the
nbtstat results are "NetBT is not bound to any devices". Unfortunately, the
article does not say what to do with this particular piece of information.

I can ping it with both the IP and computer name and get an immediate reply,
tracert with both the IP and computer name also shows a connection in one hop
which is as expected.

net view gives me an error 53. I tried LSP Fix, and it shows everything is
OK, I am still looking. I still think this may be related to the disabled
NetBios over TCP/IP, but am still looking.

John,

If Jeffrey is right, and NBT is in fact enabled, even though it shows in
ipconfig as disabled, you could have 1 or 2 other problems. Any of these
problems could block name resolution.

One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, or other security component. There are several
other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this
article with an open mind.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/irregularities-in-workgroup-visibility.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/irregularities-in-workgroup-visibility.html

Note that LSP-Fix is only one of several LSP repair procedures. Depending upon
the state of your Winsock, any one of the repairs may work better (or only) than
the others.

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/problems-with-lsp-winsock-layer-in.html

As I was going through the diagnostic steps suggested, I noticed that from
the desktop, I can see the workgroup and the desktop computer, but not the
laptop (the one that has NetBios over Tcp/IP disabled. The funny thing is
that I see exactly the same from the laptop - the laptop does not even show
up in the workgroup when looking at itself.

I still get the same no access error when I try to access the desktop from
the laptop.

I also used the Winsock replacement tool as well. As for a personal
firewall, I have not been able to find one, the Norton anti-virus does not
seem to have a firewall built in. I am out of ideas where to look next.

I ran Cdiag, but it never seemed to finish. Are there more detailed
instructions for the use of this tool? (I am rapidly getting into new
territory for my current experience level)

Thank you for your help with this

John,

I'm still learning how to write instructions for using CDiag. Right now, see:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/what-is-cdiag-comprehensive-diagnosis.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/what-is-cdiag-comprehensive-diagnosis.html

Let's see what's wrong. Can you post your copy of CDiag.cmd, that you are
running, here?

What version of NAV do you have? Is it part of Norton Internet Security?
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html

I have the NAV Corporate edition, version 9.0.0.338. I have also ran the
Everest program, and it did not find any Firewall programs running. I ran
the Cdiag on both computers - it finished successfully on the desktop, but is
still running on the laptop. As you requested, I have entered the code below.

Thank you again for your help with this.

My pleasure, John.

The code looks spot on. If it hasn't finished running yet, it's either hung,
stalled, or has exited and you didn't notice. No way it takes over 5 minutes to
run.

I think you still have a problem with your network - either the Winsock, or
TCP/IP itself. You said that you tried LSP-Fix and "the Winsock replacement
tool". That's 2 out of 6 possible procedures. Many times, the last in the 6
produces results. Once or twice, someone has tried all 6, one supposedly made
changes, and they've tried all 6 again, whereupon another of the 6 finished the
repair, in the second pass. Be persistent.

Or try doing the commands in CDiag by hand.
For each of these 4 host personalities, x:
main 192.168.1.100 t30 192.168.1.101
"ping " x
"net view " x
IOW, do 8 tests, and report on the failures. If nothing odd in those 8, then
I'll disassemble the other tests so we can try them by hand.

Take a look at the CDiag output from the desktop, to see what I'm discussing.

OK, I have the following: the 8 steps above, cdiag output from laptop -
stalled at the enumeration step,
Other items I have tried and the results from them, and cdiag output from
desktop.

For each of these 4 host personalities, x:
main - ping no response, net view error 53
192.168.1.100 - ping OK, net view error 53
t30 - ping OK - net view "The server service is not started"

To fix a corrupted LSP / Winsock in Windows XP pre-SP2:

1 Backup and delete the following registry keys:

2 Reboot.
3 Open the network connections folder, right click your network connection,

OK, John,

That's a great start. I think I see where you HAVE to start:
The Server service is not started.

Is it OK to start it? (Y/N) [Y]:

Get the Server started on T30. This is essential. The Browser service, and so
many more concepts like file sharing, depend upon this.

computer.
