Changing networking protocols is not going to make your network
invulnerable. The problem is one computer, we'll call it the internet
computer, is hooked to the internet using TCP/IP (which is the protocol of
the internet). Then another computer, we'll call it the network computer,
is networked to the internet computer using NetBeui or another protocol. If
someone accesses the internet computer, using a hack program, they will
still be able to talk to the network computer because the internet computer
will act like translator if sharing is still allowed.
NT is a little more safe because you can do directory or file shares not
just a whole drive like 95 or 98.
Hope this is clear.
