Have disabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP so that I have access to others' shares,
but don't allow access to my shares.

My firewall says "NetBIOS traffic is being allowed."

Now I know it is referring to WAN miniport for a home network, which I don't
have. I am a standalone W2K computer with many of the Services disabled
which I don't need. I am connected to my ISP, a broadband, but I disconnect
my modem when I am not actually on the internet or sending or getting mail.

Do I need to do anything with the WAN miniport settings for more security?
