The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51

This article was previously published under Q156750 SYMPTOMS
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 computers running the NetBEUI protocol may stop
responding during initialization. NetBIOS applications using AddGroupName
may also fail.
CAUSE
This may be caused if the workgroup name for the Windows for Workgroups
system is used as the computer name by another Windows NT 3.51 or Windows
NT 4.0 computer also running the NetBEUI protocol. If the name is in use,
the computer running Windows for Workgroups should produce an error message
(error 6117).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.51
and 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on
