NETBIOS.VXD. I propose you run with --debugmsg
+relay,+snoop,+vxd and try
to decipher what is going on before that failing VXD call.

Done. Please find the messages in the attachement. I shrinked the 7 MB file to those lines around the error message. But because I'm a Windows's internal newbie it'll take me some hours to understand the messages. But anyhow I'll investigate the messages later but also any help is very welcome.
From the attachment:

Good. It seems to work exactly the way I thought (or rather hoped) it would.
Now we can presumably forget about the VxD and the undocumented NETBIOS DLL and concentrate on implementing the documented NETAPI32 DLL.
It would be intresting to know what the content of NCB structure that Netbios takes as pointer to as argument.
So the next step would be to make a Wine implementation of the NETAPI32.DLL with a stub with an appropriate TRACE to display to NCB structure.
I don't think I have time do it is the next few days though. Can somebody else please do it?
PS. On second thought perhaps we should make the NETAPI32.DLL just a forward to the NETBIOS.DLL. It seems from the trace above that the Netbios function in NETAPI32.DLL is the same function as _Netbios in NETAPI32.DLL and Netbios is the only function in NETAPI32 while NETBIOS have more functions eventhough they are AFAIK undocumented.
