From:
One aside, the Windows machines would typically install windows networking (SMB) onto NetBeui *and* TCP/IP as the underlying protocols. Samba only supports TCP/IP.
It is possible to remove NetBeui on *all* Windows machines and the server - and just have one network protocol running on your network - ie all machines just talking IP.
Definitely do not do this if you are running RM Connect as that does use NetBeui. In fact, if you followed Kevin's excellent "If it ain't broke fix it" advice you most probably wouldn't be bothering to remove it.
I am not advising this though - unless you know that you have no machines that only talk NetBeui (ie not IP) - and that all machines are configured for IP. It is something else to think about though as life can often be simpler if you only have one network protocol on your system.
Hear, hear!
This is not an important point though - and if everything is working, then 'ain't broke, don't fix' probably applies ... :-)
