I need to figure out how to change the 'NetBIOS setting' under the properties of TCP/IP of my network adapter > Advanced > WINS

For some reason this is set to 'Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP', which causes network browsing not to work.

Thanks!

Double posting is evil man.

Ah thx.. I wasnt really planning on getting my question answered in that thread as it pertained to about 3 other topics... figured Id start a new one as I hadnt found it discussed anywhere else...

Admin: feel free to delete either post...

Thanks again!

Yea, no problem. Just teasing you. You only started one new post and that is fine.

Take Care,

I baked this one to unbind NetBios but you can use it to bind it

Enjoy !

Oh cool... so is this the equivelent of changing that same setting manually?
