Where can I turn on the netbios name resolution protocol?

After following each suggestion I reboot if needed and go to my network connections, entire network and I see nothing and get just a "beep". I also located a link to reset tcp/ip (it didn't work either) I believe if I re-installed windows I would have the same problem. As I mentioned in previous posts I try to install a network printer, and get errors that the printer lost connection to the server, I believe all of this is the same problem. Any new suggestions?

Spyware Doctor appears to detect mainly spywares and not viruses. Look at Avg or Avast.
