When you are using the Windows NT Server RemoteBoot service for Windows 95 and you receive the error message "NETBIOS AddName Failure" in the early stages of starting a remoteboot workstation, it means that you have given the workstation a NetBIOS name that is already registered on this segment of the network.
Every computer must ensure that its NetBIOS name is unique by broadcasting
the name. A conflict might occur because another computer already has this
name, or because a user is logged on under this name.
NOTE: Some network cards can be very persistent about defending their
NetBIOS names, even when a computer crashes.
