Netbios is not config properly on this computer

To my knowledge, NetBIOS is something "normal" users don't need/want, so you can disable it without any serious consequences... Some firewalls come with options to close or protect NB, but that Gibson NetBIOS config utility you mentioned on an earlier thread worked on my older pc just fine...

You don't need netBIOS on today's computers and you can safely uninstall it. Almost all file and printersharing these days is done via 'File and printersharing' and 'client for Microsoft Networks'
