Ah. Doesn't surprise me. Good to know. :) > NetBios is not as dead as some would have you think. Yah. Microsoft keeps says NetBIOS is decreated, but then you run across MSKB articles saying "such and such won't work if NetBIOS is disabled". I suspect NetBIOS is never going to go away completely. NetBIOS's naming protocols are built-in to Windows in some rather core places. In particular, the security subsystem and SMB. Historically, Microsoft has not had much luck upgrading that stuff. I suspect that code is so old and poorly written (some of dates back to Win 3.x!) nobody is left who understands what it all does. By all appearances, AD couples on to those things, rather than replacing them. Usually the UI hides all this, but the old stuff still pokes through on occasion, in error messages, the registry, and so on. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
