Re: Hung process behaviour - captured by Process Monitor

NetBT is NetBIOS transport.
It's probably trying to resolve name to IP.
If your environment can survive without NetBIOS, try to disable it for a
while (for testing purposes).
Maybe the name resolves to some stale value.
Try to clean stale names in lmhosts files and WINS (and possibly in DNS and
hosts too).
