Re: No netbeui in XP said by Bill_MI
NetBEUI was an excellent choice to have shares and security, too. It was so bad some ISPs block those 137-139 ports.
I think you are confusing Netbeui with Netbios of TCP/IP (NetBT). Netbeui is at the same level as TCP/IP. It does not use TCP/IP so TCP/IP ports are irrelevant to Netbeui.
Netbios is a protocol that runs on Netbeui or TCP/IP. Netbios over Netbeui (NetBF) does not depend on TCP/IP being present. Netbios over TCP/IP actually uses the aforementioned ports. What is removed is Netbeui. Netbios is still there in XP (AFAIK). |
