On a side note: I heard somewhere that the Mircosoft IP stack includes NetBios information in it=B4s TCP/IP headers ( //Computernames and so on) and that this is why you can "browse the network" even if there=B4s no NetBeui on your=20 windows box. I haven=B4t disassembeled any packets to see if it is true though. Best Regads John On Sat, 8 May 1999, Christopher Michaels wrote: > HUH?!
