I share a cable connection via a router that uses dhcp.
Should I enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP or Use NetBIOS
settings from DHCP server?

I've ran into the article here, as shown below. It said
you should use NetBIOS from DHCP. I have enabled NetBIOS
over TCP/IP and am not having any problems. Should I
change it to "Use NetBIOS settings from DHCP server"?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. ;-)

It's always OK to explicitly enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Using the
NetBIOS settings from the DHCP server works sometimes and doesn't work
sometimes.
