The Network Location cannot be Reached-WINXP

While Accessing shares like
\\computername
U will recieve an error
"The network location cannot be Reached. For information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help."
If you run IPCONFIG, it shows "Netbios over Tcpip" as disabled. However, in the Network card properties GUI, the "Netbios over Tcpip" option is displayed as Enabled. :-)
Resolution:
1. Run Registry Editor (regedit.exe), and check the following registry key:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters]
2. Please find if the "TransportBindName" value exists. If either of them does not exist, create it. If either one is incorrect, change the data. The values should be like this:
Name: TransportBindName
Type: REGSZ
Value: \Device\
and Finally Reboot
U solved it :-)
