Might I recommend that you actually drag out a packet sniffer and look at a REAL network to see it for yourself? We all know that MS of ALL companies believes that RFC means Request For Compliance and since it's only a request and not a mandate, they often opt NOT to conform to standard.

Packet sniffer shows no NetBIOS over IP traffic at all. Sorry. Try again.

You must have a lame sniffer. I show encapsulated packets with ours just fine. I guess it could be the silly operator and not the silly sniffer that has the problem though.

The packet sniffer shows nothing wrt port 137. I admit when I'm wrong, but since I'm not, I won't

Have a nice day.

Will do. Please give me directions to Utopia though. Since you live there and don't see any netbios traffic with your sniffer, I would like to vacation there. ------- John Fraizer (root) | __ _ | The System Administrator | / / (_)__ __ ____ __ | The choice mailto:root@EnterZone.Net | / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / | of a GNU http://www.EnterZone.Net/ | /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ | Generation A 486 is a terrible thing to waste...
