I'm having some problems with a Vista laptop. Unfortunately I need to try and repair the issue as I need to perform a backup to wipe it down and start again.
Basically is powered off at some point last week and when it came back up again, the network wouldn't work correctly.
Every time I try connecting to a network resource via IP, I get a network credential box. If I try and ping a device, it returns the IP, however if I try connecting via its DNS name, it says it cannot connect.
I've tried winsock fixes, netsh repairs and a few other bits and pieces, but I think it might be a corrupt network guid thats causing it as I get errors in the system event log in regards to NETBT EventID 4311. Its having problems trying to map the GUID to a MAC Address.
Anyone know of any windows tools to repair the problem, or have I got to start registry hunting to try and repair the GUID / MAC Address entry?
