SYMPTOMS

Although you can see the "NetBIOS support for IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol" component in Network properties, you cannot add it using the Add button.

This component should not be displayed. You can install this component only by selecting the "I want to enable NetBIOS over IPX/SPX" check box. You cannot add this component using the Add button.
