Oh really, you ever setup a Win2k DC server in 'native mode'? Tell me if you still use, or even need NetBIOS! LOL I can suggest some books if you want. And as a side note, no, you do not need NetBIOS for communications to device that use IP unless it's MS centric! > 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.

NetBEUI is an old, and yet lame protocol that should have died away many many years ago. Only lately MS has clued in (since Windows 2000) and have enabled the option to completely remove, or shall I say.. No longer 'require' the use of the OLD NetBIOS in any other protocols. > If you do not like either of these protocols the I suggest you run a > *nix box and stay away from Samba My main servers as a matter of fact are *nix. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc.
