Quoting Abhijit Dey <omegalist@xxxxxxxxxx>:

Do not use NetBeui. Big securty risk.. also unnessesary.

=============================================================

NetBeui is not NetBIOS.

NetBeui is not routable.  So people using TCP/IP(THE Internet)
cannot see your shares and printers.

In my opinion it is actually safer to use this protocol for this
purpose on your LAN.  I would suggest that you unbind TCP/IP
from the sharing/printing services.

You do have to disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP for security's sake.
