Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)
Windows peer-to-peer networks use the
NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) applications
programming interface for File and Printer Sharing. NetBIOS
names identify computers on the network. NetBIOS broadcasts
locate computers and shared disks and folders on the network and
allow them to appear in My Network Places and Network
Neighborhood.
NetBIOS is not the same thing as NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User
Interface):
The NetBIOS API must be enabled over
one of the transport protocols: NetBEUI, TCP/IP, or NWLink IPX/SPX.
Networks that use TCP/IP for File and Printer Sharing require
NetBIOS Over TCP/IP, also known as NetBT.

-
Open
the Network Connections folder.

Right click the local area network
connection and click Properties.

Double click Internet Protocol
