nbtstat problem with windows XP

I use windows XP professional (recently upgraded from Home ed.). On home edition, I was able to get nbtstat to work, although I don't remember exactly what I did, but I'm sure I did it in professional. However, professional still won't let me use nbtstat. I know for a fact my firewall is not to blame because I can turn it off and nbtstat still won't work.

my guess is it's a routing problem or something. I have NetBIOS enabled over TCP/IP for my internet connection, but I can't get nbtstat to work. any help would be greatly appreciated :D

I am such an idiot...
I was testing nbtstat by using it against my girlfriend's computer, and she failed to mention she blocked netbios (which she did just recently)...lol, thanks for your help anyway...

Your welcome..... Try to search on google before you ask a question here

dont worry we all do stupid things

I do search google...all the time as a matter of fact. that's one reason I don't post questions here very often; I can find what I need on my own.

it's just that this nbtstat thing had me stumped....and in the end it wasn't even a nbtstat problem...I was just being an idiot for trying it against a blocked service.
