tep A: Get the GUID of your network adapter
You will need your network adapter’s GUID. It looks something like this:
{DED7C856-1234-5678-BA7E-FF9BF300F579}
Here are two ways to get it:
Via PowerShell:
Run this:
Get-NetAdapter | fl Name,Status,InterfaceDescription,Status,MacAddress,LinkSpeed,InterfaceGuid
Make note of the adapter’s InterfaceGuid value.
Via Command Prompt (source):
If necessary, use the Services MMC snap-in (run services.msc) to start the Wired AutoConfig service (for wired network interfaces) or WLAN AutoConfig service (for wireless interfaces).
Run the command corresponding to your type of interface:
Wired: netsh lan show interfaces
Wireless: netsh wlan show interfaces
Make note of the GUID value (it will be displayed without the surrounding braces, which you need to add).
Step B: Edit the Registry
Run regedit to open the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Linkage
For each of the three values in the table below (Bind, Export, and Route), double-click the value to open the Value data editor.
Inspect the Value data for the strings shown in the Data column of the table below. When the table shows {GUID} replace that with the actual GUID of your network adapter, including the surrounding braces. For example, if your adapter’s GUID is {DED7C856-1234-5678-BA7E-FF9BF300F579} according to the table below the Bind value in the Registry should have the following two entries:
\Device\Tcpip_{DED7C856-1234-5678-BA7E-FF9BF300F579}
\Device\Tcpip6_{DED7C856-1234-5678-BA7E-FF9BF300F579}
Add any Data values that are missing as new lines at the end of the text box. Do this for each value shown in the table.
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Linkage
±-------±----------------------------+
| Value | Data |
±-------±----------------------------+
| Bind | \Device\Tcpip_{GUID} |
| | \Device\Tcpip6_{GUID} |
±-------±----------------------------+
| Export | \Device\NetBt_Tcpip_{GUID} |
| | \Device\NetBt_Tcpip6_{GUID} |
±-------±----------------------------+
| Route | “Tcpip” “{GUID}” |
| | “Tcpip6” “{GUID}” |
±-------±----------------------------+
Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each of the following tables (for this following table, you’ll use the data table for both keys shown):
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Linkage
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Linkage
±------±----------------------------+
| Value | Data |
±------±----------------------------+
| Bind | \Device\Tcpip_{GUID} |
| | \Device\Tcpip6_{GUID} |
| | \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{GUID} |
| | \Device\NetBT_Tcpip6_{GUID} |
±------±----------------------------+
| Route | “Tcpip” “{GUID}” |
| | “Tcpip6” “{GUID}” |
| | “NetBT” “Tcpip” “{GUID}” |
| | “NetBT” “Tcpip6” “{GUID}” |
±------±----------------------------+
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Linkage
±-------±-----------------------------------------+
| Value | Data |
±-------±-----------------------------------------+
| Export | \Device\LanmanServer_Tcpip_{GUID} |
| | \Device\LanmanServer_Tcpip6_{GUID} |
| | \Device\LanmanServer_NetBT_Tcpip_{GUID} |
| | \Device\LanmanServer_NetBT_Tcpip6_{GUID} |
±-------±-----------------------------------------+
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Linkage
±-------±----------------------------------------------+
| Value | Data |
±-------±----------------------------------------------+
| Export | \Device\LanmanWorkstation_Tcpip_{GUID} |
| | \Device\LanmanWorkstation_Tcpip6_{GUID} |
| | \Device\LanmanWorkstation_NetBT_Tcpip_{GUID} |
| | \Device\LanmanWorkstation_NetBT_Tcpip6_{GUID} |
±-------±----------------------------------------------+
Step C: Reboot
Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
