My machine is running Windows 10 Professional, 64 bit. I have Virtualbox setup to emulate an time time capsule. The machine is a desktop and is wired to a Netgear R8500 that is running DDWRT (September 27, 2016 Kong version). No matter what I do, I cannot seem to enable NetBIOS, which is preventing my machine from being seen by other machines on the network. I also cannot access my shared printer or file shares from local macs on the network. I am not sure exactly when the problem began, but no more than six months ago in any case, I just didn't realize I had a problem until I went to print from one of the macs. File and print sharing used to work flawlessly.
I have already changed the setting in network connections/adapter/advanced to enable NetBIOS from "default," but it has made no difference. I have also disabled the firewall, for testing, which also made no difference. I also checked the relevant registry keys, which had the netbios setting set to "1," but no difference. netstat -a shows ports 135 and 445 as listening. Lastly, I disabled netbios on my virtualbox virtual network interface, thinking that netbios may not be able to run twice on the same physical interface, but again this made no difference. The event log shows no errors that appear to be even remotely related. All drivers and software were updated in the hopes that would resolve things.
I'm out of ideas and would appreciate any help you guys (and girls) might be able to provide. Thanks!
