Server inaccessible via UNC; nbtstat -n returns nothing

I am unable to access \\SERVER but I can, however, access any other UNC paths from SERVER. I've gone through the browstat/browcon troubleshooting process a few times and implemented all their suggestions, and SERVER is still not announcing itself to my master browser and appearing in its list.

What concerns me are the results of "nbtstat -n" and "net config server", both of which are attached. Running ntbstat -n tells me that there are no names in the local cache, which is bad, but I have no idea why this would be the case. Furthermore, the results of net config server show that there aren't any NetBT_Tcpip_{} bindings (all my other machines sharing resources have this listed).

It may be time for a reinstallation, but I don't wanna. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Preston

Reset your tcpip configuration. Delete all and retype. Is
this server acting as a router? You have two different
subnets assigned to this computer.

File and print sharing are turned on; this server had been (previous to this
problem) sharing files successfully.

Another interesting thing is that I can access the server via any method
other than its UNC, i.e. http, ftp, rdp, ping...

Thanks,
Preston
