    From Windows 2000 onward it is possible to turn off Netbios on the
    clients. However, many network applications will stop working ~(even
    some of Microsofts!)

    Subject: Blocking NetBios

    Hi list,
    I have a request from one of our clients to block NetBios in thier
    Network
    ( No one should be able to see the shared resources of others)
    I have googled around and all what I have found is blocking it on the
    edge
    communication equipment ( router, xDSL modemd..etc) Which will be done.
    The most important thing is to disable it internally ( inside the LAN)
    Any suggestions???
    Taking in consideration that there is DHCP server for the clients ( If
    it
    can contribute in the Solution)
    Best Regards,
    Kareem Mahgoub
