Hmm, I realize how stupid this question sounds. &nbsp;Let me re-state my question:<br />
<br />
I've read an awful lot about how enabling NetBIOS TCP/IP is a bad thing. &nbsp;However, I haven't been able to find a definitive answer regarding how disabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP over a mixed network will affect the network (if any).<br />
<br />
For example, if I have a linux / Windows 2000 / Win NT network.<br />
Basically, how crucial is netbios to networking?<br />
<br />
Sorry about the question. &nbsp;I'll do a better job of proofreading

NetBIOS over TCP/IP Question

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
