[AccessD] OT: Wireless network (sort of)

No.  NetBIOS natively runs in conjunction with TCP/IP.
 There is an option to uncheck that, however.

I think you're confusing NetBEUI, with NetBIOS. 
They're two different things.  NetBEUI is a
"proprietary" Microsoft protocol that is not
routeable.  This makes it very small and efficient for
LAN environments, however, due to limitations of the
protocol itself it tends to be much less efficient in
larger environments, and will not route out to the
Internet at all.
