This is a low level networking error. The localhost is simply not
accepting connections on port 139. Win2K on a laptop for example will not
listen on localhost unless another network interface is active. This is
likely true of other Windows systems. It is a power management feature.
Try Start > Run and type '\\localhost\foo' where foo is a shared folder.
Also try '\\127.0.0.1\foo' and so on...

A program should be written to  model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes the  potential for it  to be applied  to tasks that are
conceptually similar and, more  important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
