Using nbtstat + enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP

x1mpr0x · 05-02-2008, 04:01 AM

Hi, everytime I use 'nbtstat' command I get:

"Failed to access NetBT driver -- NetBT may not be loaded"

I have "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" enabled under my advanced TCP/IP settings, and I have File and Printer sharing enabled.

I'm connected through a router and both my Net adapter and Wireless adapter have tcp/ip enabled

under ipconfig/all it says that NetBIOS over tcpip is Disabled. How can I enable this?

Err... I think I know the problem

About a year ago, I didn't like my port 139 listening all the time.. so I closed it. How I did this, I don't know. I forgot :\ ...I think this may be the problem.. any opinions?

Why do you need NetBIOS? Almost everything is over standard TCP/IP these days, are you connecting to an older IPX network or something?
