I have a small home network, 3 pcs all XP Pro SP2. Connected via a 4 port
wired router/modem and all is well, file and printer sharing and access to
WAN all working as expected.
I'm thinking of using NetBEUI instead of TCIP for the LAN, if I did so will
this mean I can disable NetBIOS for TCIP under the WINS setting? If so will
I also be able to completely block ports 137, 138, and 139 and still have
fully usable file and printer sharing?
If anyone else uses NetBEUI are there any othjer problems to look out for?
I know how to install the protocol in XP, and have read some theory, just
wondering how it works in practice.
Thanks for any comments.
