This error can occur if the NetBIOS interface is missing from the Software tab (in Control Panel, double-click Network) in Windows NT 3.51, or from the Services tab (in Control Panel, double-click Network) in Windows NT 4.0, or if the NetBIOS interface is not bound.

In Control Panel, double-click the Network icon. On the Software tab, click Add and add NetBIOS Interface.

Windows NT 4.0

If NetBIOS Interface is already installed, confirm that there is a protocol binding to the adapter.

If this issue continues to occur, follow these steps:

1. Uninstall the NetBIOS Interface, and then restart your computer.
2. Reinstall the NetBIOS Interface, reapply the latest Windows NT Service Pack if applicable, and then restart your computer.
