Event ID 2505 on my Wins Server

M

Mike

I am running a Windows 2000 server with WINS/DNS. After reboots I keep
getting Event ID: 2505

The server could not bind to the transport
\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$} because another computer on the
network has the same name. The server could not start.

After a nbtstat -n it shows that the name of this server is in conflict,
hence NetBIOS not binding to my adapter.

Any ideas?

~TIA

SYMPTOMS
===========
Under the following conditions, you may experience one or more of the
following symptoms:

On the Windows domain controller that has File and Print Sharing disabled,
the following error event may appear:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Server
Event Category: None
Event ID: 2505
Date: 2/16/2000
Time: 11:59:31 AM
User: N/A
Computer: DCTEST
Description:
The server could not bind to the transport \Device\NetbiosSmb because
another computer on the network has the same name. The server could not
start.
Data:
0000: 34 00 00 00 4...

CAUSE
=======
This problem can occur if the File and Print Service component was not
selected during the initial setup of the server or it has been deselected.
When this occurs, the Server Service does not bind to the NetBIOS
interface. A Windows-based computer which becomes a backup browser and does
not have File and Print Sharing enabled is unable to share out the browse
list to clients. Any computer that is to be included in the browse list
must also have File and Print Sharing enabled.

RESOLUTION
=============
To work around this problem, enable File and Printer Sharing on Windows
domain controllers and any computer that is listed in the browse list.
