Hope that helps some...
If all that fails, you may be able to disable netbui and work around with hosts and lmhost files; check here for some more info on that:

Also, I have been able to resolve problems occasionally by uninstalling then reinstalling problem protocols. That might be an option too...
Let us know how it works out...
