I registered just so I could post to say thanks. This advice helped me greatly. I had been experiencing cpu performance issues for which one of my experimented solutions was to turn off netbios in WINS. When it didn't work I forgot to turn it back on again. Fast forward a few days and I am now trying to access a network share with no luck. network neighborhood is empty and using the name of the shared pc results in "\\pc name not found" error. I could access the shared resources by entering the IP address though, and it was reading this post that jogged my memory and put the last piece in place. Set the netBios to default in WINS and voila!!! Thanks a ton!
