I managed it following Steve's advice. If you unbind everything from
every instance of TCP/IP on all your adapters. This is only relevant if
you only use it for the Dial-up Adapter and use another protocol on the
local network.

Of course, if you need to share files or need to run TCP/IP over the LAN
you can't avoid NetBIOS.
