NetBios Over TCPIP

[caddo65590]

Hi Everyone,
In windows 2000 OS, microsoft provided the option to disable Netbios over
tcpip.
1. My question is, In what situations can you use this feature and what are
the implications when you are in a purely Microsoft network environment ?
2. What will also be the implications when you have a pure win2k domain
without WINS and Netbios over TCPIP is disadble. You also have an NT4.0
domain with a bidirectional trust relationship with the win2k domain.
Since NT4 is Netbios based, will this implimentation be possible ?
Any ideas or articles regarding this configurations will be appreciated.
Thanks

I would say if you have mixed os like win98, nt, w2k and xp, you will use
wins or netbios over tcp/ip. if you have domain network, it is better to use
wins; if you have peer to peer network, you may want to use netbios over
tcp/ip.
