You need a form of NetBios on any windows network in order to
communicate with other devices and or computers. Your firewall should
block it from getting out on to the NET.

NetBeui is faster than TCP/IP and is a simplified way of communicating
on a local lan for small workgroups, it is brainless, no config needed
and will not run on the internet. (to keep your internet running fast
on a dial up make sure that netbeui and ipx/ is not enabled for the
modem connection)

If you do not like either of these protocols the I suggest you run a
*nix box and stay away from Samba
