You don't want netbios traffic coming in from the outside world, but
netbios traffic between the windows hosts on your LAN is perfectly
acceptable.

Thankyou Ben,
This makes sense to me. Yes, I do still have netbios enabled on the
network, each client. I do still recall, from years ago, that netbios
should be disabled as a security enhancement (grc.com?), but I have not
gotten back to that yet, and, my network may not be fully enabled yet
cuz I think I keep dicking with it, I suppose!! I do accept that a lot
of pebcak still exists at this address!
I'll leave my 'hosts' and 'lmhosts' files alone! Just checking........ :)
Ah, 'hostname' call. Nope, not yet. I have not yet assigned the device a
hostname. Thankyou.
I will continue my troubleshooting of the brick.
Best,
Duncan
