Netbios over Tcpip device failure

I have a Windows 2003 network and over the past couple of weeks have
experienced a problem with the TCP/IP Netbios Helper Service, which keeps
shutting down. This problem seems to be caused by the fact that the Netbios
over Tcpip device (NetBT) keeps failing or shutting itself down. This
network's run very smoothly for the past couple of years. Any ideas on what
could be causing this?

Thanks in advance -

what do you mean by NetBt shutting down? Are you saying that The driver is
stopping? Is name resolution stoping or connections to shares on or off
this machine?

Can you post the output of:
net config rdr
net config srv
nbtstat -n

when you get into this state?
