We have been having some problems with NetBIOS.
Today, I was working on our website and all of the sudden I sort of "lost connection" with the other PC on the network where the website files were stored and the path wasn't usable any longer. I could type the path for that PC \\NS1 and it would come up invalid. This wasnt an issue 1 second prior to it just happenening suddenly for no reason. I can still ping that computer, and do everything BUT access it by its NETBios name (NS1)
It seems there is some kind of issue going on with NetBIOS. We haven't been able to figure it out. After playing around trying to see what the problem is we can get it working again for a day then it will just "die" suddenly.
Were using a LinkSys Wireless Router, but were both connected to the router by CAT5 cable.
Keep in mind I can still access the other computer by any means BUT its NetBIOS name as in I can't type in \\NS1 to browse that PC or with Network Neighborhood.
