What is the meaning of the below event viewer error and how to resolve it?

The server could not bind to the transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{645D56E9-F6B3-44C1-B7C9-B5A0503A76ED} because another computer on the network has the same name. The server could not start.

Check all your network adapters (under Settings>Network & internet>Advanced network settings) and see if there is a network device, created by some application, that is no longer needed. Delete that network device (Disabled is not enough) using Computer-Manage (Uninstall and also remove driver). I had a similar problem, when trying to connect to a VPN using FortiClient. That error message - EventId 2505 appear. Until I've figured it out, I run command ipconfig /registerdns in order to connect to see the VPN network (after running the command the LAN network start to respond after a around 90 seconds). After clean the unnecessary network adapter, problem was solved. Operating system: Windows 11 Pro Workstation
