There was a failure with creating a new NetBIOS interface. If you have already defined many NetBIOS-enabled IP Address resources, make sure you have not reached the NetBIOS limit of 64 addresses. If you have IP Address resources that do not have a need for NetBIOS affiliation, disable NetBIOS for those resources. For more information, see "Viewing or changing the NetBIOS setting for an IP Address resource."
Alternatively, this could be an issue related to a network adapter or network adapter driver. Make sure the adapter is using a current driver and the correct driver for the adapter. If this is an embedded adapter, check with the OEM to determine if a specific OEM version of the driver is required.
If you do not currently have Event Viewer open, see "Opening Event Viewer and viewing events related to failover clustering." If the event contains an error code that you have not yet looked up, see "Finding more information about error codes that some event messages contain."
To perform the following procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on each clustered server, and the account you use must be a domain account, or you must have been delegated the equivalent authority.
