Netbios is missing

[acenterprises]

Thanks for the welcome people!

I'm have been running 3 servers for several months as a hobby so even though I'm better than my friends, I'm still somewhat novice when it comes to my TCP/IP configuration(s). DNS, Active directory,mx and so on always seem to baffle me!

I'm running 3- 2.4 gig servers with server 2k3. I recently downloaded the N-Lite version of 2k3 which I like but it offers almost no driver support. Thats how I found MG, Thank God! I found every driver I needed including my NIC driver and my wireless NIC. I have web access at 108 Mbts but I cannot access my lan no matter what I try. I have RDP access but no file sharing.

I can ping the other 2 servers and they can ping me but the problem seems to be in the name translation. The name of this server is "ace-server" but it does not show up on my router interface page nor does it show up anywhere in windows explorer. Here is what I have tried:

1) repair option on my NIC properties - result= "cannot clear netbt"

2) add wireless NIC to compare results - result= same

3) ipconfig - result= Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]

Description:

Initialization failed because the driver device could not be created.

Explanation

This is a transient condition that can be safely ignored.

NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) temporarily could not start but it continues trying to start until it succeeds.

User Action

No user action is required.

SYMPTOMS

When you upgrade from Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 to Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1, the following error is logged in the System event log:

Event Source: NetBT

Event Category: None

Event ID: 4311

Date: date

Time: time

Type: Error

User: N/A

Computer: computer_name

Description: Initialization failed because the driver device could not be created.

In this scenario, the NetBIOS transport driver works correctly. You do not experience any network connectivity problems.

CAUSE

Windows logs this event because a non-zero value is incorrectly returned when Windows detects and references the newly introduced network adaptor. The adaptor is redetected as part of the upgrade process.

RESOLUTION

In this scenario, you can safely ignore the Error event. The Error event is harmless.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

Obviously it is infact a problem for me which I have been unable to solve for over 3 days. Can someone help? Thanks, Andy

Append:

I have come to believe that netbios has deliberately been removed from the registry by WINS haters or whatever but, I need it. I really want to adapt to this N-Lite version but I have to be able to share files with my file, terminal and mail servers.

Aquire a non modified version of windows and modify it yourself WITHOUT removing components you need.

There is absolutely nothing anyone else can do for you because the disc you got just doesn't have those files.

nlite is meant to make custom installations with components modified, removed, or added. It is very useful, but it pretty much requires that you always keep an original and remake your nlite disc every once in a while to account for new versions of nlite or integrated components... If you don't have an original, tough luck.

OK now I'm starting to catch on. I used the 'Support' option on the "My Computer" property sheet and heres what I got:

"Customised by N-Lite v1.0.1

Components removed:

[Many Items]

...

....

.....

Network Monitor Driver and Tools (I suspect this is my problem)

...

....

..... "

So, there is no way to re-install this driver? I do have a Full Trial CD, can I copy from there and, if so, how?

Thank YOu and sorry for my ignorance
