Here is the information from several computers that are having trouble
with NetBIOS resolution. shares do not work with Netbios names, but
they work OK with IP addresses. They are behind a Netgear WR614Gv4
wireless "router".

When trying to connect to a share on the other computer they report
that the machine was not found.

As LanWench suggests, use a WINS server. Or fix the Node Type.
