hey guys,

we can make our windows safer when we remove the Netbios things.
for those who want to share nevertheless in network i have the right thing for you.
i want to have all Netbios things ripped out of XP.

I started a topic in nLite section and freed up some of the network components from netbios/netbt. http://www.msfn.org/...showtopic=37633

if you shut down NBT, several things will break:

1. No interoperability with down-level machines (older than Windows 2000);
2. No Broadcast Name Resolution (which is used on simple peer-to-peer LANs), you
must have DNS name resolution in place to have any name resolution at all. You
can always use hosts files instead of DNS servers though.
3. No network browsing (The computer browser service is a NetBIOS based animal.)
4. Any other software that relies on NetBIOS will break.

For the non existent dns server we can use the hosts file.
for the so loved browserlist of pcs and shares we can use Merx Network scanner to generate one.
you must change the port from 137 to 445 for correct working without netbios.
