Windows NT 4.0
In Control Panel, double-click the Network icon. On the Services tab, click Add and add NetBIOS Interface.

If NetBIOS Interface is already installed, confirm that there is a protocol binding to the adapter. In both Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0, you can check the protocol binding on the Bindings tab (in Control Panel, double-click Network). If no protocol is bound to the adapter, remove the current protocols, and add them back in.

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.

What service pack level do you have? This is a common occurrence below SP4.
