[Samba] getting rid of NetBIOS

[Nicolas Gieczewski]

Yes, just make it listen on port 445 by starting samba with the -p 445
command-line switch. If you have any Win9x/ME clients on your network,
though, they won't like that. ;)

Hope it helps.

Subject: [Samba] getting rid of NetBIOS


Is it possible to run a samba server strictly over TCP/IP?  (i.e. without 
NetBIOS) -- I can turn off NetBIOS on win2k but I only see the win2k 
computers which are sharing drives now -- no samba servers.

I'd like to see if this improves my performance since NetBIOS seems stuck 
with small (1 ethernet frame, no fragmentation) packets.

Andrew
