I am getting an error "A duplicate name exist on the network". When I run nbtstat -n I see there is a confilct on only one of the three NIC's installed. I have tried all the nbtstat switches to release and such to no avail. Is there some way to fix this short of renaming the server?

Disable NETBIOS over TCP/IP in the WINS tab of the TCP/IP properties for the other NIC card.
