[AccessD] OT: Wireless network (sort of)

Hi John,

In order to use Network neighborhood, you have to use NetBios.

If you look closely in your TCPIP settings you'll see that you are using
NetBios over TCPIP.

So in fact, you do not need to put it as a protocol.

I think you will have to put it as a protocol if you are using anything
lower than Win98.

Does that mean that it doesn't have to be listed as a protocol for that LAN
in network manager / properties?

In the past I would end up with ALL of those things actually showing.  These
days only TCPIP actually shows.  Are you saying that whether they show there
or not they are still loaded and being used?

NetBIOS is on by default because it is a network
discovery protocol.  LAN Manager is an "old" method
that Microsoft networks used for discovery of network
objects, and authentication between said objects.
