CAUSE ===== The following keys were not updated during the upgrade process: WINS CLIENT (TCP/IP) -------------------- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\NETBT\CurrentVersion\MajorVersion HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\NETBT\CurrentVersion\MinorVersion NETBEUI Protocol ---------------- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\NBF\CurrentVersion\MajorVersion HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\NBF\CurrentVersion\MinorVersion NWLink NetBIOS -------------- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\NwlnkNB\CurrentVersion \MajorVersion NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.

Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and edit each of the earlier protocol subkeys to the following: MajorVersion:REG_DWORD:0x4 MinorVersion: REG_DWORD:0 2. Quit Registry Editor and restart your computer. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0.
