Airport Extreme netBIOS error 53

I just bought a Airport express and I'm trying to setup a hard drive on it but I keep getting a netBIOS error 53 on my Win 7 desktop. I have read all the post before this. I changed the name to less then 8 with no spaces I have set the hetBIOS over TCP/IP to enable. I went it to the command prompt and checked the IP

C:\Users\Carr's>net view \\10.0.1.1

There are no entries in the list.

last time I got the same error 53

I don't know what else to try.

Thank you for the help

All seems to be as it should, have you tried a re-boot? For AirPort Extreme and the Win 7 Machine?

I figured it out. I didn't have a name on the thumb drive. Just now when I went to go to the properties I added "thumb" as the name and now it worked. Thank you so much for the help
