I'm running a one-user, non-networked computer which is using XP Home
SP2 with all updates. I also have dotnet 1.1 and 2 installed. Can
anybody tell me if it's going to cause any problems if I disable NetBIOS
and LMHOSTS Lookup by doing to following:
1. Double Click on 'Network Connections'.
2. Under 'LAN or High Speed Internet' of the 'Network Connections'
window, click once (highlight) the item that is associated with your
network card.
3. Right click on that item and select 'Properties'.
4. Under 'Local Area Connection Properties', uncheck 'Client for Microft
Networks' and 'File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks'. If you
intend to use these either of these with NetBEUI or IPX, then leave them
checked.
5. Under the 'General' tab of the 'Local Area Connection Properties'
window click once on 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)'.
6. Under the 'General' tab of the 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Settings'
window, click on 'Advanced'.
7. In the 'Advanced TCP/IP Settings' window click on WINS.
8. Select 'Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP'.
9. Remove the check next to 'Enable LMHOSTS lookup'.
10. Click OK on the 'Advanced TCP/IP Settings' window.
11. Click OK in the 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Settings' window
12. Click Close on the 'Local Area Connection Properties' window.
13. Close the 'Network Connections' window using the using the 'X'
button in the upper right corner or File -> Close.
14. Reboot.
TIA
