No matter what you do, you are going to have some
form of Microsoft Networking Browser related
communications occurring at various times on the
network (the traffic is minimal). Browser Synchronization
and Updates occur when Systems Boot into
the Network, and when new shares are activated (I
also believe there is a timed based Synchronization,
but I don't remember the Interval, something in the
order of 30-45 minutes. This is done to detect
when Systems drop from the Network).
If your goal is to block the Microsoft Networking from
activating your DIALD Link, then add the filters.
If you are wanting to share your files on Linux with your
Windows Machines, then use Samba. If you are
up for experimentation, then configure the Samba
for WIN and Browser Support.
