Hi,

Very nice compilation of network troubleshooting information. I just wanted to add that I saw a very odd behavior out of the "net use" program today that I've never seen before. When trying to access the C$ share from one XP SP3 machine to another (also XP SP3) I kept getting logon failures (error 1326), despite correct configuration and correct username/password combo.

I finally got it to work by giving the password as a command-line argument to net use, rather than having the program prompt me for the password. Odd! Perhaps it's a bug introduced in SP3; I don't know. At any rate, if you're having problems with net use, try giving the password as an argument. You'll at least be able to visually verify the password is correct and potentially avoid whatever issue I ran into, too.

Hi, first of all, thanks for saving my problem with wrong NetBIOS node type - great tool!

Now, some comments.
I'm using WinXP Pro SP2, Polish language.
Most probably, node type 2 was set when using my laptop in a network with WINS server. Then I moved to other network without WINS server and the problem occured (local network names could not be resolved).

First of all, ipconfig /all did not show my node type (or it is translated in a very strange way and I couldn't find it).
Second thing, After I changed DhcpNodeType in registry by hand from 2 to 1 and used "Repair" button in connection status dialog, problem was solved. Without restarting!

Thanks again for help!
