There is no such thing as XP Adv Server. IT won't be out until next Februrary and as Windows .NET Advanced Server. XP is Home and Pro ONLY. Server ,Adv Server, Datacenter Server, and Blade server all att in the .NET family. -Kevin

Quote: NetBEUI In case you've never tired to bench it, NetBUI is slow as dirt. I say good riddence to this protocol. Screw downlevel clients. Use all Xp/2k and use TCPIP w/o NetBIOS. -Kevin

Quote: The XP firewall is a good step, but only if it blocks SMB ports on the Internet side _by default_ in the home internet config It does. As for backward compat. An NT/2k/XP instance of NetBIOS is extremely securable even w/o AD, as you can force everyone to use 128bit encryption for everything that involve passwords, including downlevel 9x clients(DSClient.exe). I've tried a numer of crackers on the NTLMv2 hashes sent by/to win9x clients with DSClient and LMCompatibility 3 and they cannot decode them. -Kevin

Quote : NetBIOS/SMB is only secure if it's firewalled away. This is not true. BY using existing portions of WIn2k/XP you can effectively secure NetBIOS(prevent enumeration of shares/users/groups and make use of strong passwords). In addition XP ships with a personal fireall exactly for this purpose. -Kevin

Quote: NetBIOS is unsecure, even more so when bound to TCP/IP. This is not true. NetBIOS in WIn2k/NT and XP I would imagine is fully securable. When people speak of the poor security of NetBIOS they are speaking of 9x. -Kevin

Both NetBUI and DLC are out for XP. -Kevin
