I've been posting here for a while about how I can't get filesharing to work on my wireless computer using NETBIOS. The computer is a Dell Inspiron 5150 running XP with the 1300 internal wireless card, and the other computers (wired) use XP Pro and OS/2. The wireless router is a WRT54g.
After much trial and error I back-leveled the wireless card's driver to one I found on the internet-- the generic Broadcom 3.100.46.0 version. The file is bcmwl5.sys. Now wireless file sharing works perfectly. I haven't experimented with releases newer than that one but older than the current one, so I don't know when NETBIOS was broken.
Is anyone else aware of this issue-- was the change to the driver deliberate (since Micro$oft no longer supports netbeui) or was it an accident?
