There is a problem with NetBios over TCP/IP and Un-Install AFS.

NetBios and AFS - It seems the un-installation of AFS does damage to
NetBios over TCP/IP.  As yet, the only solution is:

   Remove AFS (via Install/Remove Programs), optional
   Remove all network services and clients
   Remove TCP/IP protocol
   Reboot Win 2000
   Install network services, clients, and TCP/IP
   Install AFS
   Reboot

You can test the health of NetBios over TCP/IP by either doing nbtstat -n
or ipconfig  -all.

You can still install NetBEUI after all this if you want.   For example, if
you can't get SAMBA shares to work.

If this doesn't work take two aspirin and e-mail me in the morning.
